Almost forgot.
Mornin comrades Guy just thought it was a drive through liquor store. Cold (40s) and rainy here. I gave Barkly (our Sheltie) a new job. I told him his job is to watch the grass grow in the front yard............... He's going to be busy today. |

Is that the north edge of the North Sea, or the south edge of the North Sea? Monty Python fan here. |

I bet it's high, G. You might check to see if there are any places where you can rent time in a paint booth. Or make friends with an automotive painter.
Scrummy, it's awesome here. Busy, but the weather is nice - 60s with highs in the 70s and more rain, but no strong storms forecasted this time.

95% prep 5% PAINT! I had a friend that would do all the prep and masking then have Maco or Sheibs spray it for $300--500. my son does it all. He just puts up plastic walls when he sprays....

Dang, G. Sounds like you should make a trip up to see Bud (or his son, wherever he is) and get a quote from him.

Shop around for estimates from good body shops, and include dealership shops. It will be cheaper in the long run.
There are too so variables in products, and prep work, painting techniques, etc., etc., that it is easy to screw up a paint job, and triple the cost. Not to mention the cost of your time. |

I'm thinking I'll do all the prep work and then check again on a price to just spray. I've redone plenty of tractors and other equipment before but never a vehicle that I wanted to look professional. The big cost is the prep. Those flames were put on with an extra layer of white paint on top the original paint and its THICK! Biggest cost is stripping all that off and prepping the metal. I think I can reasonable strip the car and put in primer and save a ton.

Good morning folks, overcast and drizzling here. Still, it is half way through the week and working down South next week so no flying up and no working away from home!
Might even sneak out one evening to christen the Bob on a roe buck Sounds a lot of work for a paint job... Scrummy (PS no North or South bound horses so far...)

Mornin' Gents. Woke up to 55*and rain. Supposed to get up to a scorching 67* this afternoon. Probably Spring's last gasp. Hopefully not.

Mornin comrades
Well it's not raining, but it is overcast and upper 40s going to mid 60s. Hey G! Here's an idea; find a good body man that will tell you what materials you need, and what prep work you need to do, so all he needs to do is come in and shoot the paints (primer, color, and clear coat). If you can find a paint booth, that will take care of a lot of potential problems. |

I'm working with the guy that gave me the estimate. He has told me what to do to get it ready for him and he'll do the work from primer on for way less than he told me originally. Basically the prep work is the costly due to labor cost. Not material.

We had a cow-peeing-on-a-flat-rock rainstorm last night. Over 4.5" total over about two hours.
