Always browsing the site, put my first order in for some SPI products so may as well contribute and post some pics. Did this 70 malibu for a customer on a very tight budget and probably wont or try not to do another one like this lol

Looks like there is enough work to keep you out of trouble for a while!

Car is definitely worth it!

 

[C_REX]

Oh yeah there was a bit of work there but couldnt get super fussy on this one. There was alot more areas that should've got some attention but unfortunately wasnt enough $$$, you have to draw the line somewhere.

Alright this is where we get to shoot some paint

this malibu had to be brought elsewhere to be finished up, so here's the final prep before sealing it

all ready to be sealed up

So due to circumstances I sealed this at home went around and edged everything then wet sanded with 600grit any thoughts on this negative or positive welcome

 

[Bob Hollinshead]

Your proceedure will work just fine-sealing and edging then painting as long a you shoot it within the recoat window. Is that urethane sealer on there or epoxy? If it gets out of the recoat window you'll have to scuff it and reseal. What is that yellow transparent stuff on your cut throughs before the sealer went on-etch primer?

 

[C_REX]

Thanks for the reply Bob, yes that is a etch primer, and the sealer is not epoxy I used PPG chromatic sealer I put 2 coats then wet sanded but the thing is I painted the car the following weekend my first coat I put on light and let it flash a little longer. Could this cause me any Problems?

 

[Bob Hollinshead]

If the sealer was a week old you won't have the chip resistance it would have had if the paint had been applied during the recoat window.
