Jackson warmed up his paint gun and is ready to work his magic. He loves to paint cars.
We finally have the body as straight as we are going to get it. There are still some dings and dents, but nothing major. Donnie I'm sure will add some more to it when he learns how to drive. We have the whole outside sanded down to 600 grit sand paper. The inside was much easier since most of the metal will be covered up with carpet or the headliner material. So most of the paint will be just for a clean smooth surface for the glue to stick to. The roll bars will be covered with padding.
Jackson chose white as the color and did his special mix starting with a Chevy white. Of course he had already used a sandable primer.
He started with the inside of the car and cussed at the roll bar that was giving him problem. I was really shocked when he was done because the white made the interior look larger.
Then Jackson worked his magic on the outside of the car. Each of the coats keep coming out better than the last one.
After three coats we had the look we were going for. I would post my quote that I said when I saw the final coat but I'm sure kids visit project Baja.
We will post more photo's once we put it in the sun and we can really see the finish. What a difference, Jackson, "You are the Man!" Thanks a million, I will have to have a big barbeque in his honor. One more major project done! More Soon.
