Awesome job. What are you putting over the rust and in holes?

nosyt · Post by **nosyt** » Sat Apr 25, 2009 5:17 am

process is basically grinding all the rust away then using platikote rust converter (2 coats) then the large hole i used 6 layers of fiberglass (2 thick high quality stuff, 4 cheap bondo kit stuff) then used fiberglass reinforced body filler to make up the right shape then finished with light weight body filler sanding with 120 grit then plastikote high build primer sanding with 800 grit then paint

haha if i was to redo i wouldn't just spray bomb it
it feels like i sprained my finger from spraying so much i went through 9 cans of primer and 12 cans of satin black

Hahaha. How'd you do the paint? Brand?

nosyt · Post by **nosyt** » Sat May 09, 2009 8:09 am

paint was all spray bomb

plasti-kote - grey spot fill primer 466
plasti-kote - satin black T-8

i love the colour and how it turned out for being spray canned
walking out of work seeing it there brings a smile to my face

My god, that's impressive! Makes me want to spray bomb a car at some point... maybe my SVX if I ever get it on the road

That looks sick. Now if you get some black or gunmetal wheels or even just paint the ones you have, that would make it even better!

did you black your headlights too!?

I love it!

And you should tint your windows, then it would look so sick.
