Project Pain(t) begins

when you hit 200 posts you have to paint the car i'm dying to see the new color


I'm doing my best. Weather delayed me 2 months. But at least there's progress now. I have a month off in April, that's when I plan to put it together, so I'm not hurrying the painter. So all I can do is stop posting progress pictures... Razzer

The plan is that the painter calls me whenever he's in doubt about straightening, drove there Tuesday to discuss the right door alignment, a challenge since the rear fender is a replacement. He also pointed my attention to the fact that the top horizontal chrome window list is straight, but the roof it's supposed to seal to has a curve. Not an easy car to get right. When he thinks he's finished straightening, he'll paint it one color, and then I go through it and "sign" it off. Good thing, I get what I want, he gets no complaints.

He said he would give it a layer of epoxy paint, so "it won't rust in your lifetime". I'm not sure if that's what can be seen here or if it's sander or what ever, but seeing it in one color suggests progress.

Went to the painter today for final inspection etc. They've done a good job with the body, only found two areas to correct by holding bumpers and other stuff to the body. Had new DeTomaso and Pantera scripts, needed holes elongated very slightly, better now than when painted.

Color is chosen and mixed! The few I have communicated my choice to have not said anything like "great color!", so it may only be to my taste. Great!Razzer

I finally decided after having seen it in a parking lot at work. Plenty of nice colors in sunshine, but they all looked dull in cloudy conditions. Not this one. It has a "shine" to it, and amazing two tone ability. Like the two tone colors, but with both tones the same color. If that makes sense...?

Regardless, decision is made, I like it. It's called KMF Recife Bleu.
