Pat can you describe they method and tools, sanding grit etc. of how you stripped and clean paint on outside of inner fenders and framerails, firewall etc?? Also what was the blasters method and media used on doors etc? How did you prep the metal before primer if anything?

Looking for some DIY tips! Thanks Ed B Hi Ed, I started with a heat gun and putty knife to soften up and scrape off all the undercoating. Then I used some lacquer thinner and wiped off all of the leftover undercoating. Next I started with a 6 inch DA sander with 80 grit paper and also used a 3 inch DA sander for some of the tight spots. And lastly finished up using a 4" grinder with a wire wheel attachment for all the nooks and crannies. The doors, fenders, hood and trunk lid we're all soda blasted. And you must clean and neutralize any of the soda residue with the product called hold tight before priming. Doors and fenders are easy because you can take them outside and power wash them with the hold tight. The hold tight also prevents any flash rusting as a result of the water. I hope this helps and good luck with your project! Thanks Pat

I will be using PPG DBC basecoat/clearcoat. I would have done the whole car in DCC single stage but being that the roof is painted pewter I will do basecoat on the exterior. I used DCC single stage on the inside, trunk, and engine compartment.I mixed 50/50 with urethane clear on the last coat. The single stage paint certainly makes a lot of sense inside the car and the trunk area, I may do the same thing? On the bottom of the car friend of mine is a painter for commercial vehicles and they been using a clear coat that is graffiti proof and he has used it on the bottoms of cars that he's done and it make road grime clean up really easy. It sounds interesting and I need to look into that and see just how well it works. Thank you Pat

I know PPG makes a graffiti resistant paint that they use on New York city subway cars. I have a friend who is the local PPG rep. I could check with him as to what it is. I have become a friend of urethane truck bed liner coating. I did paint the underside of my car but after i finished i realized that i just don't want a trophy piece that I have to keep super clean. When sprayed with a schutz gun it looks like factory undercoating and is tough as nails. hit it with a hose and its all clean again. Plus its a sound deadener. Any info from the PPG rep would great! THANK YOU! Pat

You're a phenomenal metal worker, and I love detail oriented stuff, this checks all the right boxes. All that tubing work is nothing short of incredible, simply art! Thank you sir!
