Racinbob 11,989 #1 Posted August 8 (edited) Just another quick update here to let you know I haven't abandoned it. Summertime priorities have kept me pretty busy on other projects. An abnormally hot and humid July kept me from painting the sheetmetal. I finally got a couple days and took advantage. 2 parts Rusty Regal, 1 part mineral spirits and a dose of Majic hardener. I did spray the wheels with the cheap Harbor HVLP gun but this was my first attempt at the sheet metal. It's far from perfect but not bad. This morning I mounted the electric fuel pump before I bolted down the fender pan. It's now just a matter of putting the pieces back together. How long should I wait before I put the decals on?

I'm thinking a month might be okay but I wouldn't do it any earlier. We've found that Rust-Oleum 2x wants to sit for at least 8 weeks. But that has no hardener in it speak of. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpinnc 14,713 #4 Posted August 8 Since you used hardener, and depending on how much paint you sprayed on- you can now wet sand with 2000 grit and the polish that paint to a near automotive quality finish. Whether you do that or not, it certainly looks great so far! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
