Painting Again!

[dakazman]

Thanks BDA ,
A number a members have asked how I obtain a mirrored finish. It is not easy . I spend sometimes
3 hours or more on the fender. With perserviance, obtain a finish pros envy.

Still working on van paint and final touches. Raining for seems like weeks .., so I decided to finish up other jobs on my 8 vehicles. Good thing I did the Honda Sport driven by my daughter had a huge bulge on the inner side of her front tire found when rotating tires . I asked if she felt any vibration and I received an answer like, 2weeks ago I heard a load bang when I hit a pothole!!! I told her next time if you were living on your own go directly to a tire store and have them inspect the car. All better now that she now has two new tires.

 Nice paint, as usual! Talking care of the daughter's car is always an adventure!

Weather looks great, prepping my Europa for its final coats of clear coat.

No painting today but I did a bunch of favors for the neighbors who come over an ask me to fix things but nicely. Being so called retired is exhausting.
 The engine cover was my biggest concern since I left it upside down when wet and warped the internal supports pushing the skin upwards. All fixed after some reverse coaxing and of course,  sanding , painting and resanding. Now it’ and the entire car is sanded down to 800 for final clear coats. The pictures show some minor defects that I will get out soon.

Nice work! Your in the home stretch to finish the paint work. Hopefully I’ll be close behind you.

  Its not what you think , more black, I wish .

the misses suggested painting several rooms in the house . I Just painted 5 years ago..., color change.
then the list kept growing of other things that need some attention.   
 Help,

I find spraying a whole room (walls ceiling, furniture, etc.) gloss black makes a stunning decor statement. You might even get a shoot in Architectural Digest!

That’s what she wants on her kitchen cabinets ,🤫 LOL And...that’s after I build the cabinets.
