Painting Again!

[BDA]

Uh... D'man. Don't you have wrenching to do on your baby? Focus! Focus!   

Really, I'm looking forward to seeing how that comes out. Is it going to be black too?

Is it going to be black too?

I think it should be left in primer until the Europa is finished (well as finished as they ever are!), just to incentivise him....

  Guys,  I learned long ago that what the wife wants done , gets priority !  Yeah I know🤷‍♂️
 
  Not black, doing the original yellow! Hopefully done by Wednesday. I thought about leaving it primer but it’s parts are all over the garage.

    With an open credit card limit and wife’s blessings I purchased a gallon of single stage mason 2k  in the original yellow .
   I sprayed a good first coating of up4453 hi build primer .  Samir out tomorrow and if all looks well , I’ll spray the finish coat tomorrow. That’s the plan until I take my afternoon nap, but the weather may change and I’ll have to wait .  Just hope for the best👍😁
  I can’t wait to get back to my baby BDA!

You need to open up a paint shop, D'man! But if you do, you'll never get around to finishing your Europa!

 BDA , I promise to continue working on Dolly very soon .  I took some pictures of items I need to purchase or fabricate. One good thing about stepping back and rethink your vision saves time.  One exception is to bring my corvette in for 5 new tires, I’ll just leave it at the shop . 🙏

  If tomorrow’s weather gifts me some dry air( low humidity )and no rain I’ll be spraying some color.
Door jambs and engine compartment will follow later.
   Received all the sealant required to reinstall rear window , however I will paint without it installed.
Spraying a complete car is easier . Circling back to a problem panel,  that will not confirm is easier.
Getting the entire job done is the focus. 

   Alarm set for 6am 👍

   A patch of dry air encircled parts of Florida, dotted with some on shore showers later in the afternoon.  “Get her done”, went through my head as i maneuvered my other cars and payed down some cardboard around car.
   Mixed a small batch of paint up and sprayed a panel, paint looked great and payed out nicely .. 😀
Off to the races I went and in about 1 hour , done.  Some drips of sweat on a fender and hood but other than that , still going great.
  Then one of those predicted clouds rolled past and drenched the cars outside. Lotus was covered 👏👏👏😅 but my vette with all the tiberon parts on top got a good cleaning, oh well !
Tomorrow I can start sanding it out and polishing it up .

  In my spare time and cleaning up garage I cobbled this together. My wife loved it🥰
Well it’s out of my garage.

You grow potted plants in your garage ??

  Sometimes I think I’ll have to start cutting roots of the cars🥱

   After cleaning out the garage and into my daughters house, I now have some room.   
 
  I had all the intentions of working on my cars today however I woke up sore and achy and have a fever.. my son in law tested positive for Covid19 and we were at his birthday party 🥱🤷 I’ll give it a day but I do have a rapid test kit ready. I also had all my shots.

  COVID it was , I feel fine now and spent some time sanding down my paint job.
Son in law also up and out cutting his lawn.

  Finally over COVID! 
  Did a fast job painting the spoiler yesterday before the humidity hit. Today I juggled sanding and polishing, assembly, on my tiberon . The day seldom goes to my plan but it was productive.
 It’s not a show car so I cut my sanding time and left a few imperfections in the paint.
 I’m going to spend a little more time on it and paint the door jambs on some under hood areas. It is at least in drivable condition.
  Rear window installation went so so . The 3m tube of sealant was partially hardened and would not come out of the tube. I had to cut it open and apply the sealant with my fingers . All ended well, with window in place and no leaks.
