Well, it was another long day of taping and painting here at New Hemi Racing.
We got a little goofy from the fumes and the old man made me a pair of ears for my paper suit....It was a good day all in all no issues....paint flowing like it should, covering like it should and no dust bunnies lurking.
There is a reason I hate painting, the prep work, I cannot stand so much as a speck in corners etc. When you see a beautiful car and its got dust bunnies lurking in the corners I start twitching.
So....lots of prep, cage is painted, I dont like the flattener we used, I wanted a semi-gloss and it didnt come out right, my fault, I should have sprayed a test panel, oh well, the color is good, the same gray as the interior panels. Sooo...it was on to the underside, I love that White undercoat urethane, wow, I shoulda just bought it in gray and used it.....it cures hard as nails, its smooth and the right semi-gloss I like, we almost left it white, but it will pick up too much track crap, so a light grey semi-gloss it went.
The trunk is sealed , and tommorow will be bc/cc on the trunk and engine compartment.
Monday re-assebly starts..
Please excuse my spelling, I really can spell, between my fingers sticking to the keyboard from uncured urethane and the fumes....this is adequate :)
My DAD spelled BUNNY Wrong on my suit......"Bunney".....what a great day though.
