Completely re-painting the Chevelle? Do the prep work myself?!?


Recommended Posts

I've used dupli color look at my mustang build long,

Honestly if u don't have. 30gal+ compressor it's not worth it, hvlp guns spray at a max of 30 psi normally(mine is 29) I normally shoot at about 25 after trigger is pulled,

The prep is more work than actually painting, by far!

It you laid down a thick sands me primer you could prolly get a lot done, if u have a nice gun and compressor, but I would findsomeone local who can show you the steps of good bodywork and prep work, and get a buddy to help you, if you so it all urself like I did its a conplete pain in the ass!

Yeah I was going to order a HVLP gun and use my bosses compressor. It's huge, probably 120 gallons. And I know how to do prep work, I'm just not experienced in it. The last time I used my bondo plane was for a boat 8 months ago lol. But I know how to fix all the rust and weld and use body filler and block and all that. My only problem was spraying. I was wondering about removing the body panels and then primering them separately and then blocking? How well would that work, I was worried about uneven coats I guess? But I'm not really sure.....

Fucking love Alan you goddamned fucking super nerd lol

When Alan uses big words I don't understand

It's warming up enough that the donut-punching cyclist douchenozzles are getting their two wheeled fagmobiles out.

Everytime I see a guy driving a mini cooper I cant help but think he loves cock & (2/29/16)-My wife just bitched at me about throwing out things we don't really use. My response of well we don't really use your vagina so should we throw that out was evidently not the right response. I had to leave the room.

I missed Alan.

RIP 5/29/15 - I love you son.
