Phlebmaster Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 I said I was doing bodywork this weekend...well, here is after some serious sanding, de-rusting, Bondo Glass, and primer. :D That bondo glass dries really fast :eek: I had to re mix it several times because it would harden so fast. :lol: Not too bad for 4 hours work. ;) I finish sanding and primer tomorrow. I will wait on the paint because I have a friend with a compressor and paint gun. I will do this car the right way....no spray can job this time. :D I like this car way too much.

72240z Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 You know for the amount of rattle can paint you lay down on your cars it may be wise to invest in a cheap gravity feed set up. :D Quote Link to comment

72240z Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Ya I read that but you still rattled the primer, even with the cheaper guns you at least get proper coverage. You also have a choice in build height and seal. I mean if you plan to re prime later or what not cool but I wouldn't trust a rattle can prime for :poop: Just trying to help. Quote Link to comment

I will use a high quality "filling" primer before I get paint on her though. My friend is a professional painter...so I will be in good hands. :) Quote Link to comment

Phlebmaster Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Better pics of the bodywork and primer work this weekend. :D I now think I should name this thing the ghost rider. :lol: Notice the rear fender where the rust used to be? Quote Link to comment

Tompsukka Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Looking good! Cant wait to see it painted. Love to read about these Z:s. Their so rare in finland. Good choice painting it yourself. The satisfaction is great to see it painted knowing you did it yourself! Quote Link to comment
boomstickracing Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 can't wait to see it painted Quote Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 can't wait to see it painted :lol: Me either. I am going to call around to different auto paint shops and see what they have in thier boneyard. If I can get close to the color I want with two quarts then I am going to get that. :D I am thinking of a pearl vanilla or something classy...but a light color. I will wait and see what paint is available. UNLESS!! I never considered this untill now.... does anyone here have a couple of quarts of auto paint laying around?? :blink: Quote Link to comment
CharlieBucket Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 good stuff man, still keeping the color a secret? i have been thinking about buying a spray gun, how much was that one? i only have a little portable compressor, do you need a big one to paint? Quote Link to comment

Well, the color will be what ever is attainable and not too expensive. The spray gun I have runs about $60.00 and you can run a smaller compressor...but not recommended with out a regulator. Thankfully those are cheap. :D This gun can handle pressures up to 70 psi. Quote Link to comment
hughdogz Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Whoo hoo! I can't believe how much you've done in such little time. :) I'm no expert, but when I had someone paint my Z, they stressed how important it is to put a disposable air / water separator inline before the gun (in addition to the permanent separator). I think you have the right idea to go to the paint boneyards. They have the auto finishes (?) place by your house on McGlouphlin (sp). Also I hear Baxter auto has paint too. Can't wait to see the color :D Quote Link to comment

As sooon as I get my paint I will let everyone know. lol I called Rainbow Finishes in OC and they have BY paint for $20.00-$60.00 per quart depending on color. Yellows, reds, and such are more expensive and the whites, creams, etc... are less. I just need to go in and take a look at what they have when I have cash. I will call that other place you mentioned too and see what they have too. :D Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Looking / sounding good. Be careful with with pearls. I think it would look awesome don't get me wrong but if you ever add a body part or have to touch up an area it will NEVER EVER match. One of my z32's was the nissan pearl white and I know you like to add/change over time that's why I bring it up. Pearl white is damn classy though, Idk maybe its worth it. Z isn't THAT big to respray every time lol. Quote Link to comment
