blistering and cracking repair was finished today and at the moment the car sits in its first layer of gray 2kPrimer, I'm going to apply a second layer of 2k primer then wet sand then it will be ready for silver metallic base coat

 

Looking great dude! Idk if i mentioned doing this same thing to my buddys 88 trans am, we soent probly 30 hours each prepping his bay and shaping it and cutting and sanding etc. It was crazy but the finished product is awesome to see.

 

Sub'd, this is gonna look clean.

 

Looks awesome

 

Finally, someone will be #Hondastatus

 

This thread is so full of win. Looks awesome. I have to take my car back to the body shop that repaired my car, the paint on the pillar is cracking....

 

Josh come over and give me a hand with this :P

 

hope your up for a LOT of work

 

well today didn't really go as planned, got the first few layers of base coat down but there are a few places that I was to heavy on the paint or to light on the paint, its really hard to get into some of the places in the bay even with a detail spray gun so what I think I'm going to do is do a few heavy coats let it dry then wet sand down the base coat a little then apply more base coat to get the color right then I will see where I want to go from there, if I like what I see then I will start the candy layer

 

First time spraying? It's tough to do all those edges.

 

Basecoat never goes on heavy

 

got the sags in the base coat sanded down yesterday then sprayed a few layers to get the color right and I'm satisfied with the way it looks, so now I'm prepping the candy layer. the concentrate says a maximum of 5 grams of concentrate per qt (32oz) so I mixed 2.5 grams with 16oz but I was seeing little un-dissolved specs in the mix so I went with 2.5grams per 20oz of clear and it's looking really nice mixed. I'm sure once I add the reducer and activator that it will be well dissolved into the clear. I have a little while before the base coat is cured enough to be cleared so I'm just getting ready till then here are a few pics of the candy, its blood red candy.

 

your engine bay will be blood candy red? car is/was yellow?

or all red?

 

that looks awesome

rally yellow

 

yeah I looked at the first page....so yellow? red internals?

 

for now i will eventauly paint the outside to match

 

after 2 layers of candy a little hard to see due to the resins in the air

 

that looks incredible.

That is 1 insane progress that I have ever seen! Great Job! Props to you!

 

You picked a great color. Going to look awesome on the exterior.
