paint type?
i'll be painting inside and out of my 65. what type paint should i use? basecoat/clearcoat, acrylic enamel, etc.? i see the local body repair shops always wet sand and buff clearcoat. how could you do that on interior?
thanks |
When I painted my 64 Galaxie Skylight Blue, I used acrylic enamel on all the interior surfaces, then masked off all the parts and put basecoat/clearcoat on all the exterior. Lots of masking and planning but it turned out great.

Use urethane single stage if it's a solid color, urethane base/clear if it's metallic. If you shoot it right it'll be slick enough and won't need wetsanding/buffing.
This is urethane straight out of the gun, no buffing. http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...28390201_n.jpg http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...13412148_n.jpg http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...83376375_n.jpg http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...91517211_n.jpg |

Good color choice although a pearl color would need to be bc/cc and definitely for someone with experience in painting.

The CAD plating on you tailgate handle is a little too shiny. Do you want the name of my CAD plater? We call him Chris. Short for Christ. He's God like. Lol.
