1978 Malibu Project, 4th times a charm
- Thread starter Wraith
- Start date
So, from the point of laying on it's side, all sanded and prepped with 180 grit sandpaper and wiped with lacquer thinner it still took 1.25 hours to mask it all off before that photo was taken. At that point I started mixing the raws using a 250ml graduated cylinder, because I use them for work, then got to spraying at about 60psi to keep the pattern as tight as possible.
After 1.5 coats
Then after all four liters of material and masking pulled
Surprisingly it all went well with no problems or snafu's, I expected problems, none arose, little to no overspray on the floor, and I managed to keep any overspray/mixing off myself although I do recommend a respirator made for organics, this stuff is stout.

And got back to work last night after buying a couple of Jeep Cherokees, like I needed something else to do. 
I'll get back out there this morning and finish the welding and cap the ends.

Back at it again after a brief hiatus working on one of the Jeeps for 1.5 days. This morning I decided I wanted to get the body close to back on but I needed to finish the brake line install and that meant flaring one spot of stainless for the prop valve plus re-tapping the holes for the distribution valve but it's done.
Broke out all the recoated hardware
Back in the corner and I got my parking space back

Great work! How did you replate the hardware or who did you have do it, and was it expensive?
I had it done locally when I tore it all down, only cost around $100 or so for every piece of hardware on the car done is silver cad, Billmark Plating
