unamed mame nearly done
JazBrown:
Yeah I know!
I totally blew it by painting over that gorgeous custom side art!
Those sides were a complete pain! whatever it was, they did it in latex and latex just softens and balls up when you sand it so I spent a hell of a lot of time getting it off before I could even think about patching, priming, sanding and finishing.
thanks for the kind words all!
JazBrown:
Oh!
Also something I wanted to pass along. The lighter black areas there (front panel and inside the cowl) were really rough and I was having a hell of a time getting a really nice and smooth finish.
Sooooo I went down to the local hardware store looking for an easy solution and I found it!
This stuff here

The fact that its textured really helped cover and hide imperfections and it's also a very fine metal flake. Two coats of that stuff and two coats of clear to smooth it out a bit and I was very happy with the outcome.
I recommend it for anyone who is too lazy to get an area down to perfect.
I wouldn't do a whole cab with it myself but that is just personal preference.
