Hmm... thats a good idea. I didn't think of that... I'm going to finish out the hatch first because I have a few other spots on the bumper to finish out with fiberglass so yeah, I may do that. Thanks for the suggestion youdirtyfox. Dig your turbo project by the way.WhiteFinish wrote:Looks good, are you also going to flush the handle part of the rear bumper?
Thanks man!AaronTietje wrote:Nice shave job on the hatch.
As stated above, Orange Peel can be removed after the clear is set by buffing it out with a medium cut compound. I'm in no way an expert but it is the method that I have found to work for me. Others may have better or unique ways of attaining their own finish that they love. This is all straight spray cans. I use Duplicolor because the Ford SQ is damn near a perfect match for my color. Fade, weather damage, age, etc. all play a factor though and it may not match what you are looking for. I would test it in an inconspicuous place first before going all out, like the inside of a door or something.DeadMaker wrote:The orange peel is too much imo..
Are you using spay gun?Maybe you put too much air pressure?
Btw by wet sanding the base coat wouldn't make it look dull?
I use the Duplicolor Clear. If you use Duplicolor, I suggest using all of the same brand except the primer. I use Rustoleum Primer.DeadMaker wrote:Looks very good..Now you must wait some days for the clear coat to become hardener.
Weird with the orange peel..lol
Which clear coat you used?
Thanks a lot man! Nothing compared to that monster you have growing in your garage but hopefully my parts car will disappear into it's own cocoon and hatch into something amazing. You guys doing these full, off-the-frame (or damn near) restorations are my inspiration full bore. Keep it coming man. I'm riding on y'alls coat tails!AaronTietje wrote:The finish really looks good and the rs spoiler is a perfect look for your car.
