    The rusted sections were sand blasted down to bare metal, and damage cut out/replaced. Bare metal was sealed with zinc chromite primer, all seams were covered with seam sealer, and we drilled new drain holes with rubber grommets around them.

    Agreed on the spot welding but without taking the interior, and floor apart we wouldn't be able to do it. And as I'm sure you know that opens a potential can of worms and drives up cost.

    Playing around with finishes to try and get the correct trumpet color. I polished the trumpets first then had them powder coated in candy apple red.

    Hey Dan:

    How do you get such great photos? Seems like you would pass out from the fumes, or get overspray on the lens or both.

    Cheers

    Scary photos I love the finished result though. I guess I should stop crying about rust on this car.

    Hey mark,

    I go in the spray booth with a mask on most times and stay out of the booths air stream. So standing upstream from the painting I get mostly fresh air. The clear coat will choke you out though any place in the booth.

    We put the car outside and had all the employees look over the paint for any defect. From heavy orange peal, dirt, etc. We repeat the sanding/polish process and put it back outside for inspection again. This is process is repeated until perfect. The paint is inspected under sunlight, flood lights, and paint booth florecent lighting.
