Default My C3 In the Booth Painted

Phase one is complete. Next I need to sand it with 1000 to get it ready for Air brushing.
Then it goes back to the booth for clear, more to come.

Did you spray it yourself? Nice job it looks great already. Was me doing the spraying it would have more runs and veins than my eyes after a 3 day binge.

No, I can paint but putting all the time in on this one that I have I did not want to paint it in my garage! So off to the body shop, it was sealed sanded and ready to paint.

DAMN, that makes me wanna CRY, that was the color of my '72, when I bought it in '95, and the paint looked that good, it was nearly PURRFECT.....but it was some 12? years old......maybe more.....

but garage kept....it finally got hit enough from DEER in the headlights, literally, to a Verizon truck, plus the sun on the back deck in the PM hours, it gave up the ghost.....

BUT, yours brings up happy grins man, so keep it well and know there is envy.....

I really like that color, I priced it when I was doing my 77, I almost fainted. It looks so nice I thought the clear was already sprayed on. The car really looks fantastic. Nice job.

Won't that make it look like you are overheating?
