 |
|
Untill I can think of a better name, Blackbird is what i am rolling with.
Lost the garage when my parents moved, and I had to put her into storage half finished and unpolished. Couldnt work on her in there, and keeping a car in storage was getting expensive, so my friend's parents were kind enough to me keep the car on her yard.
Looks like poo, the paint job was done in haste. Which only makes me angry because I felt rather accomplished over a decent priming job. But... I had to paint her, partially reassemble her, and tow her into a storage unit within a 5 day period... So eh.
Not working on her at the moment, I just wanna earn as much money as I can and spend it all at once. Instead of a little bit, and a little bit there.

Time for wetsanding! Sand sand sand...
Even a spray bomb job can look half decent from 20 ft with wetsanding, lots and lots and lots of wetsanding. |

Oh yea... All that zebra striping and stuff will color sand and buff out fairly easily. But I am still not happy with the overall paintjob.
