Thanks buddy. It’s good enough for who it’s for 😅

Doing good quality work always puts a smile on my face.

I seem to have heard that before... laugh2

Some great satisfaction in doing it on your own. I need to get back to doing the body on mine.

That is a nice color outside in the sun. There is/was a silver GTX around here with a red interior and torque thrust 5 spokes that appears at shows every now and then.

Yeah…I wasn’t really sure if I would dig the orig silver after 30 yrs of having mine ‘88 Ford silver (haha), but a few years ago, I picked up 2 gals of Poly silver AA1 ( which I believe is same as (A4 for 1969), and after doing some sprayouts on a few extra body parts, I do love it and the greenish hint.

Full circle on this deal.

There is alot I could say, maybe I'll say it later.....but believe me:
Spraying A4 silver in high humidity is no joke.

Other than that, the old GTX can do the talking for now.

Thanks smile

It seems to have exceeded my target of "really good" by a little bit.

Beautiful job on the GTX.

What clear did you use from SPI? After lots of research I ordered their Euro clear for my project. Waiting for it to arrive this week.

Thanks all!

I used the Universal Clear, but not until a tried a quart on scrap, practiced with it/did a crazy amount of sanding, decided that was 'the one'......and then eventually used it inside the trunk to see it on something
I was really going to use. Immediately loved it, after that experience with it I ordered larger quantity for the rest of the project.

Euro has that reputation of being more user friendly to spray since reducer is required, and curing noticeably harder.

I thought about euro but loved the idea of a 1:1 product, no reducer to add or experiment with is like one less thing to go wrong, and wanted it easy to buff out even a few years from now....but really I don't think you could go wrong with either.

Link to super short video

Correction is going pretty well.
There is definitely plenty of dirt and insects to work on, which is one reason why I put so much material on it.

It's actually not even totally flat yet in this video, but definitely good enough for now. I'll let that age/change over time
as they usually all do somewhat, and then work it later using those multiple coats as a maintenance aid.
