Tristin Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 I'm not against two-tones, I think it's just the lavender that's killing me. And yes... I'll still take it even if it's purple; paint is an easy fix ;) Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted December 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 did some quick math, there is way over 40 hours into this "paint job" so far - between me, jessi, and everybody thats help it adds up quick Link to comment
danfiveten Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Lol but i was going to paint the 411 purple as well SOOOO!!!!!! Know how you feel adam, told the wife i want a nice lil chair i can push around in the garage, just a nice stool like chair with back support, and i could do alot more than i can currently. I bend over for a minute to work on something and i swear, it takes me 20 min's to get back up lol. Plus i refuse tot ake my pain pills durring the day unless i have to, they make me to moody.

danfiveten Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 At least the 411 is a quarter the size of the wagon, so you can cut that time in half ;) Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted December 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Im not painting the 411, its going in for a real paint job by a pro Link to comment
danfiveten Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Lol, idk i think from the looks you do a pretty good job, at least all the prep work. I cant wait to see what you do with the 411, im glad shes going to a home that is going to finish her, remind me to, i have one of the SSS emblems put up in my house so it wouldnt get lost so i can give it to you. Will be great to see it at shows. Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted December 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Prep is EVERYTHING when it comes to paint, so we spend DAYS and a good chunk of change prepping the wagon, and 30 min priming it....... Link to comment
danfiveten Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Yah poor prep is why my 510 is peeling like a egg in my garage. Whoever owned it before me and my dad years ago did such a shitty prep job on the car. I can crack her and peel her like a egg lol. Dont even think id need to sand it i could just peel everything off. Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted December 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Prep is the hard part no one wants to do and every one wants the "Cheap" paint - ill never understand why Link to comment
danfiveten Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Ive seen the cheap stuff, my poor 510 LOL. Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted December 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 The cowl and gas door got done this morning and the whole wagon got a touch up in prep for a quick sand and a 2nd coat or primer before paint Link to comment
