Fox T-Bird/Cougar Forums

Here's some pics of my project for my autobody class, base coat clearcoat.:D  Excuse the py cell phone pics, looks real nice in person.:hick:

lookin' good, sir!

looks great for py cell pics.. what brand paint, sikkens or akzo nobel by any chance?

Thanks!!  It's PPG Shop Line paint.

 
X2 on that.  The paint looks great.

looks good man what kind of clear are yall using ?

Here ya go....

Looks good.  I helped a buddy paint his Silverado a color very similar to that a few years ago.

Ooooo, shiney

Is that some orange peel I see on the middle one?

Looks great tho.

Yep, hasn't been color sanded and buffed yet, this is just after spraying.:D

I figured so, looks great though. Keep up the great work!

It's normal to get some orange peel somewhere. that's why you cut and buff after you paint.... You should see some of the horrible factory paint jobs on very expensive cars nowadays... Orange peel from end to end.

Yep, that's what the teacher says also, he's especially disappointed with Cadillac paint jobs...lol.:D

Here's some pics of my son's gas tank, I painted in class. Pinstripe was done by a classmate.

Some of the airdam, after color sanding and buffing. Got a couple nicks in it from sitting around at school.:punchballs: But it still is way better than when I started...lol.  Like to eventually paint the white Sport this color.:bowdown::bowdown:

Big thumbs up to ya!!!

Thanks. :D

Looks good. Are you planning on putting the ground fx on the white one?

Thanks. That's the plan. I have to find a good pair of doors first...lol.:D Like to paint the whole car the color of the airdam.:bowdown:

That'll look good. It's real close to the color of my Fusion, red fire. When it's all cleaned up and the sun's shining it just sparkles! And with the windows tinted I think it looks awsome. Here's a pic for comparison. The sun's not hitting it real good but at least it gives you an idea.

Nice looking Fusion!!  It's actually a Tbird color, 2D medium scarlet, doesn't photograph well...lol. First thing the wife said when she seen the color is, "you're gonna paint the whole car, right??!!" It's like Vinnie always says, one piece at a time.:D

Thanks, I like it real well. I want to get a set of wheels for it yet then I'll be even more happy with it. Your Bird is going to look great in that color. I've been wanting a set of ground fx for mine for a long time. One of these years I'll find an affordable set.
