After everything was mounted it was time to get the car over to Hillview Auto Body. These guys have a really nice set that will allow for the paint to come out just as nice on the bottom as it will on the top. Heated paint booths and the ability to mix paint in house makes for quality work and fast turn around times.
The guys didn't waste any time on getting the car into the booth to tape things up
Once it was in the booth and tapped all up the first thing was to get the bottom side all sanded and do a little body work. They filled some little holes and edges with seam sealer and even used a little bondo in some places.
First thing was to get under the car and start to spray some self etching primer onto the body to make sure we have a good bond and seal. As you can see it is not that easy. I bet he wishes the spray booth had a lift
Next to to get a epoxy primer onto the everything so the paint has something nice and clean to stick to
Next up was to go into the database and find the correct color needed
Now time to mix the paint
With the paint mixed up it was time to get it into the gun and onto the car
Once the paint was laid down the final thing was to get the clear on top. After the clear was sprayed the heat in the room was turned up a little to make sure it dries and get's hard
When they went back in 30 minutes later this is the way it looked
Well that's all I got for today. I hope to post some more stuff here next week. We are not far off as of today and I hopefully can update everyone next chance I get. Thanks for reading.
