1986 T-bird restoration in progress.... Second restoration!!!!"Picture update" Reply #142 – August 04, 2009, 11:51:22 PM Wait a second - I didn't see this thread but you managed to paint all the panels one by one! Can you get a closeup shot of the fender to door or door to quarter panels? I'm REALLY curious how close the orange peel is. This looks great - perhaps I have a possibility of having a great paint job by doing panel by panel since I need to repaint the vehicle again due to bad chemicals the first spray.Need more pictures! Beautiful!Edit:Plus, I'm jealous. I need to at the very least redo my frontend as it's the worst and one fender got smashed in by a relative. Quote Selected

The only thing with painting pannels seperate is getting correct coverage on the pannels but if you get that then you have no problems.thanks guys it feels great to be done hopefully this weekend I get to take it out on its first ride.

Second restoration!!!!"Picture update" Reply #147 – August 05, 2009, 05:46:51 PM i say SLO POKE. it's a bird, everyone is going to think it's slow and has an exhaust leak. just ask the couple of mustang,camaro, and vette owners i beat up on with my 460 bird, it even had a 4" cowl and still nobody thought anything of it.

Thick paint is bad...but if panel by panel works fine, it doesn't matter as much as it's easy to fix when problems creep up (like huge rock chips). I'll likely give this a try although black IS a nightmare to work with.I assume just the clear was sanded? I've never had any luck sanding both the base and clear coats - the base coat doesn't look right. Quote Selected
