An update on SunnyD.

Post by Smellslike1974 » Sat Aug 01, 2009 12:27 am

So I haven't updated In a long time and realized that this is already 12 pages long. So instead of having everyone go back through random posts and other nonsense I figured I would just put all my updates in one post. Unlike the other post this will just be a general overview leaving out the little details. Keep in mind,it's not a full restoration. :)

When i bought it.

LOOKIN' GOOD The fun part is getting it all back together. Did you ever find reproduction stripes for your car? Keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to more pictures. Good Luck

Thanks!

Yes i have found the stripes but I'm not gonna need them,i plan to just repair the body rust and keeping it the original paint and stripes for now.I have a lot of time later on to restore it all the way.I like the original faded and weathered look.

I honestly do not remember where I found it, but I saved it so I could enter it into one of your post.

That's funny, I spent the last two days hand sanding my primer to get rid of some of the orange peel. It's funny how you can look at the primer/paint one day and think it's perfect, and go back in and find a few spots that are flawed the next day.

Are you rattle canning, rolling on the paint with a high density foam roller, or spraying it on? It looks like a good beginning!

I got some sprays can at auto zone that i thought would be perfect for my engine bay,my dad picked it out and i liked it.The color was more white than what the engine bay was originally,and i think it matches the spinnaker white that's on my car.Even though i did 3 coats there are still some areas where its darker where the paint didn't cover all the way so I'm gonna have to go get another can just to fix those areas.When i woke up the weather was perfect but i guess during the all the coats the humidity jumped and sabotaged my plans. :mad:

Well today I put more coats on of the *Wimbledon White*(Forgot the name of It last time I was here)

I just checked up on It after plenty time to dry and It looks great,even though It was canned.

I have a little video of me walking into the garage to check It.I also try capturing some of the projects we have going on. :beer:
