1968 Mustang Coupe Restomod

[Mule]

Gotta get an issue of MM&FM to get those 20 tips.

Looking nice. Love that Red.

WOW, this mustang is looking good. Might I ask what kind of 3M paper your using? Thanks.

16 x 350 roll of plastic sheeting.

Rusty - you gotta warn us when you're going to post a picture with that much SPI red in a well-lit room. The vibration in my eye is going away but boy that is amazing!

I sprayed 3 coats of SPI Universal clear

I sprayed 3 coats of SPI Universal clear

That has to be the "Hottest Red" I've ever seen. Nice job!

DANG! I'd love to give Rusty my 1968 Volvo Station wagon. I used to think it was a basket case, not so much anymore. Incredible work.

It looks sort of Pink in this picture. Rusty...you aren't spraying PINK now, are you?

I epoxy primed the body yesterday with SPI white and today we are wet sanding getting ready for paint.

Rusty,
Did you wet sand all the epoxy or just the flats of the panels?

Thanks

Wow that's bright. can't wait to see a outside pic.

Just the panels

 

[Desertdave]

Just the panels

Is there a benefit to that or just a preference?

Ready to come out of the booth for wet sanding

After wet sanding with 400 Brian taped again and it is ready for 3 more coats of clear

 

[jlwdvm]

What are you using to tape off the window-door openings, windshield, trunk, etc?

 

[Rustbuster77]

check this thread, it shows Brian's technique and what he uses. http://www.spiuserforum.com/showthread.php?332-1963-427-Galaxie

Six coats of SPI clear after it sits a few days we will start wet sanding than buff

Looking real nice!
Man I love that SPI red!

Another show winner Rusty!!

 

[Rustbuster77]

from pic, it already looks great, can't imagine how much better it can possibly get after a wet sand and buff. I bet it's already nicer than most show cars right out of the booth...Just for kicks, it would be cool to see a closeup of how it looks before any further wet sanding/buffing just to know what it looks like when laid down properly over a "flow coat/wet sanded clear"

That SPI red is HOT
