more light in the tunnel

  • Well, I got really motivated and put in another 5 hours after work. My wife hates me and my Mustang right now. I was able to complete final prep and paint the bay. I got really concerned when I went to do my final wipe down with acetone. Started guming up the existing finish I just finished sanding and feathering and sanding and feathering..... I stopped and re-sanded with 220 and then washed and rinsed with soap and water. All seemed good.


    Went to spray the Krylon and all went very well from there. I used the semi-flat RTA9203 and couldn't recommend this stuff enough. Nice nozzle and spray pattern. Easy to use and nearly impossible to create a run and dries fast for recoating. Put 3 coats on and it looks better than new - almost 3 cans of paint. No more ugly factory runs or undercoating. No sanding marks either and I'm very happy with it. It was dark when I finished, so I'll have to take some pics and post later.

    Carefull with that. Wives are one problem that will go away if ignored. Been there done that. Don't miss her at all and still have some neat cars to play with, When the new wife will let me.


    Glad to hear the paint came out good.


    From the title of this post " more light in the tunnel " I was afraid you had some rusty floor pans letting light in the trans. tunnel.


    Have to go before the wife catches me. Larry

  • Larry,

    Be honest, you got your Mustangs and

    your wife got hers, right?

    Yours are fed with high octane and hers

    with hay.

    Say hi to your wife from me and Aila.

  • Barbara says Hi. Now if I could just bread my Mustangs like she does hers, I could quit working. Are you going to AER this year?
