Seanz0rz's Roll and Rebuild

[Seanz0rz]

Got the primer shot last night about 11 pm. Just got up and it looks pretty moist outside, so I will have to check on the primer and hope it cured out. Good stuff that primer...

[Seanz0rz]

It was very moist last night, and it basically rained. No bueno.

Primer appears to have cured out OK over night. It is about 55 degrees and very humid right now, so I will have to wait until probably 11 or 12 to spray paint. In the mean time I will finish up all of the prep work.

Here are some pictures up to this point:

Man this is gonna look sweet! The bodywork is well done from what the pictures say. Very smooth. Sorry to hear about the primer though. I would be glad to have rain except for the holes in my roof currently lol.

I am just hoping it is not too humid and cold today to spray. I was not expecting this weather at all. Maybe by noon it will be warmer.

Thanks! I am happy with how the body came out. The roof is lumpy still but it is decent enough to live with. There are lots of irregularities in the filler that would completely ruin a regular paint job. The texture should help with these.

I'm thinking about doing the top rack in monstaliner but I don't have anything else to paint lol.

Lol. Prep is done. Garage (and truck) warmed up a bit with the heater. Spray around noon. Not too bad.

First coat is on. Came out really nice. I will bump up the pressure for the second coat. It is a little smooth for my liking.

Finding the right pressure and distance is a learning curve for sure. This stuff is pretty forgiving though. Second coat is on, and I will go out in a few mins to do some touch ups real quick. That will be the end of it.

The right pressure certainly makes a difference but I am glad that you found it easier than it sounded.

I agree. Thats pretty messed up to give a blow by blow of these final steps and not post pictures. This is 2015 Sean, we are civilized now!
