phantaz Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 (edited) Hey guys, been a long time since ive posted here but i have moved, changed jobs and family issues has kept me pretty much wrapped up since last summer. I last posted about finally getting ready to paint my 77 z. long story short is the paint company we bought the paint from and went back to TWICE sold us the wrong paint.. gave us single stage paint when i was trying to do a 2 stage and we just couldnt figure out why the clear kept cracking... well the fumes from the premixed clear/hardener was doing the deed.. we repaint my poor hood 3 times trying to figure it out.. talk about frustrating. That went through up until the fall and it got to cold to prectice painting anymore. I had decided on the 2 stage using a newer BMW blue metallic that we had not painted with before. so we thought we were doing something wrong. This spring we finally went to a diff store when we found out the other one had went out of business after 20 years of service. amazing it lasted that long. and when we showed up carrying the paint in he was dumbfounded that they sold us that paint TWICE. He was the owner of the other one and had sold it about 8 years ago. anyways, i have all the pics on my face book but here are a few of the final product. Its amazing how many dents show up after you put on a good paint job.. sigh. First shot was driving up to park i, and a decent one with sun going down and the roof show showing cloud reflections. Pretty proud of roof.. it had some serious dents in it. Last shot shows more of the color while sun was still mostly up. ill get around to the requisite "at speed" shots and down in the industrial area shots later =). You can really see the difference with my original Sig pics below.. yep same car =0) any questions or comments are more than welcome =) glad to be back !
