Re: 1980 El Camino Fresh New Paint!!! TELL ME WHAT U THINK??
Thanks fam!! I feel bad that I took alot of the old vids down. They are slowly comin back up along with new ones...
Saint..Lookin real good bruh. These will turn out ridiculously smooth. I can see the improvement from the new techniques Im using... Its taking so long cuz I like to make damn sure that primer is dry. sands smoother...
I didnt like the way the epoxy laid in one spot so I dug it out and scuffed the surface with some 60 grit. The epoxy was soft. I probably didnt mix enough hardener
Epoxy filled this hole and layed some filler on top..Not worried about it looking pretty cuz this part is up in the well area. just filled it so it wouldnt get worse...Once dry I will sand with 60 grit and work the area.
I sanded the filler out and had to re apply it. Im still earning how to "feather" the edges out. All a learning process...

Gettin there. The other well has been sanded up to 320 and looks great! Im gonna clean it and spray 2 more wet coats of filler primer and let it dry out in the sun. Then dry sand with 400 grit. Then comes some "Sandable Primer" and thats where the serious smoothing begins. 600 dry, 600 wet on up to 2000 soapy wet sand. Long process but it will help the paint lay like glass!
