Got myself a side project and prepping it for a paintjob. Got to block it and fix a few areas before its ready for a final spray.

Wow,
You're getting into all kinds of side projects! Painting airplanes, relocating, your pickup, and now a low-rider Impala.

Cool! This totally appeals to the "cruiser" in me.

And now off to the airport to fly a jet. ;D Next week hope to get some dings and scratches blocked out on my days off. All I know is I'm sore from sanding and spraying the past couple days.

Anything new with your mini?
No, nothing new to report. :( Been doing a lot of summer/outdoorsy type things with the family lately. Soon it will be fall and I'll be headed back into the garage.
Can see the photos here now also. Cool Man.
Today I wet sanded it back down again till I couldn't take it. Tomorrow will fill in some remaining scratches and fix the few dents that are on it and have it pretty much ready for paint minus a patch I have yet to weld into place.
Flat black is a pita to spray. Will need some tending to next week after it flashes and bakes in the sun.
So what makes it so hard to work with as opposed to a gloss? Looks pretty cool. Will flat black be the final color?
Kinda like spraying metalic where you get tiger striping, my problem is I have areas that are more flat than others.
Ah. I guess there's no sanding out imperfections either with a flat paint, huh?
Well I can tinker around with it and see, I'll have it even looking one way or another.
What ever happened to the impala?
I resprayed the hood a little more evenly and collected the rest of the cash money. He was happy ;D
