So,it's been a while now (2 days) and ive been missing my sanding block,so i got into the colour sanding.........
And jeesh, the paint is feckin hard to sand:eek:
Started on the front.......
Some areas you will see are shiny still,ive not yet sanded these areas..
some areas you will see where the runs were..........:o these are now smooth as a baby's butt......
And ive also shown a pic that shows little speckle areas...or low areas ive to re-do....
Right side nostril area.........
close up of just above this^^^^ area.....
Right front wing....
Left nostril area.........
Left front wing.......only done approx 2/3's of this.....
Been wet flatting using 600 to start with,but,the paint is sooo feckin hard,which shocked me.....so ive dropped down to 400 on areas with runs......
Having checked the car over i have the following thoughts on my first attempt at spraying a car in a garage............
Certain areas of the shell have come really REALLY nicely...smooth flat paint with no runs.....
Where all my runs appear (or i should say,the majority) on areas where i am struggling for space,due to the size o me garage.....i will be concentrating harder in future......
I have very little over spray and i mean very little......the home made extraction system is working well...
Ive decided im gonna use my "inside" areas for practice and they will get sprayed next........
"inside" areas equal ........engine bay.............inside of car.....fuel tank area................and the one we all forgot to spot...inside my arches...........
I cannot get over how enthused i am with this now...i am REALLy enjoying the challenge and cant enough right now (dont ask me that after a week or so of colour sanding tho:D)
As always folks please feel free to comment and dont be afraid to upset...........you wont upset me......i NEED to learn...so feel free...
right time for a ciggie n cuppa..........
Keep smilin y'all
