It is the simple things that sometimes take the most time. No way I was going to skimp on this and just clean it in place.

More progress taking place.
it is nice, is this a finish paint, are you doing single stage paint? what is the name of color
Single stage Chamonix
Vent reassembled
It's beautiful! I see no reason to paint a solid color base/clear. It's impossible to tell the difference if both are cut and buffed to the same level. It's just more passes with the gun and a bigger chance of runs, drips and errors.
Nice kitchen table project!
I always use SEM Satin Ultra Black, I did not paint the blinds I just disassembled and scrubbed, I did paint just inside that is visible and face of the grille (top and bottom of movable housing are rounded and might scratch) plus the faceplate. My 73 has the illuminated controls which are removed from the backside.
Looks terrific!
Paint goes on today!
Wow things are moving fast! Exciting.
At first glance I thought everything was jambed in Inka.

The day the project is painted is the biggest day of the journey. It's all fun stuff now.
You can tell from the reflections in the top that it laid down nicely. Not a whole lot of color sanding needed.

Tasty!
Painter is only 25 and painted several cars for Paul Cain and has a great attention to details
So good to hear about younger folks developing skills good enough to please Paul and you!
The coupe returns home on Monday after only six weeks. He has an opening for anyone local who needs prep and paint, he does not replace metal. There is a lot of jewelry waiting for it at home (just ignore the grandkids’ toys!).
Just about 10 years ago on your birthday week, we were reassembling my coupe!
How time flies. Are you coming out here to help me?
