I'm not a metal man but...

That is going to be beautiful.

you claim that you are "not a metal man" but are you also "not the painter" ?

If you are "not a metal man" Richard Petty is "not a driver"!!!!

..."not the painter"...must confess, that's something what I have been doing over 35 years, and...still...learning every day something new !
But, painting cars...that's only for hobby.

Agreed and you have a very nice cruiser there too!

Some progress for a change, the roof painted and now ready for vinyl , also color is now decided. What can you do, if you like some colour there's no reason to charge that! I look at old colour maps since 1987 and all colours what I have underlined is somehow turquoise ! This time little more blue,let's say I call it "Baron petrol "! I think Baron deserves this time little more sparkle! Roof is painted with 2 coats of epoxy then two coats of polyuretan topcoat and now waiting for vinyl.
Have a nice weekend again everyone,
Mika

Yes, I see that sign too in the background!

I have already consumed 2 or 3 lifetimes of adult beverages. LoL. The Centerville Steakhouse in the picture serves the best broasted chicken around.

Firewall painted with topcoat and color looks better and better! Metallic is extra coarse but it's still stylish (..atleas to me) without Metal flake effect , I think Baron deserves some shine over it!
Pictures shows how color changes in different lighting.

Looking great!

 

[RGORHAM29]

Fantastic! Nice work.

 

[thethee]

That is insane!

 

[azblackhemi]

Love the color! Great work!

 

[OldWarHorse300]

Some small stuff done. Bolts and other small parts back from zinc/nickel coating. Color is different than regular zinc, it's more like gray. Some parts like hinges are same with black color over it. This is much more corrosion resistant than zinc and parts is finalized with sealer what stops zinc white oxidation. This all because I will drive Baron only in summer and will keep the car in garage !

Where have you found the spring around the drum? I tried to find new ones but couldn't find them in the correct length.

Actually these are original ones after rust removal and new coat of nickel/zinc. Sorry I don't know any place where to get them.

 

[vdk2010]

Ok, thanks, too bad. Mine are rusted beyond repair.
