Ryan's bug is gettin' close
Well Monday Dave Mace came over to the house and we sqaured up the last of the bodywork on Ryan's car. Then we shot $120 worth of Evercoat Slick-Sand High Build primer (great stuff-highly recomended). After we put 1.5 Gal. of mixed high build on it, I spent the next few days blocking it out and finished up with the blocking today. It's ready to spray. Sun. the engine will come out and Monday it will go the the booth for a few coats of PPG Porsche Gaurds Red. The interior kit (black/black/black) has ordered today. I hope I can get it done before the end of the month for his wedding.

Not as expensive as I thought. Maybe I will do my own bodywork.

Thats a really good deal on paint. I just bought some epoxy primer the other day from Dupont, it was going to cost me around $200 just for the primer...I'm glad I could hustle him down to around $110.
There ar some disadvantages to living in a small town in the middle of nowere! cant wait to see the pics, I know the car's gonna look great! John

The internet is great. Most sites can't advertize prices on PPG stuff. I bought the same pait that was used on the black car for $20 less per gallon and in red. The Slick Sand primer I bought local because I needed it then.
I took some pix but I'm havin' trouble uploading them

Well the engine got pulled, we towed it to the booth, wiped it down, masked it off, wiped it down, pushed it in the booth, wiped it down and wiped it down again. It will get tacked and shot tomorrow. Thats alot of wiping. I havn't done that much wiping since my twins were in diapers.
