Hubby hated the sanding too, always somehow conned me into doing the last final smooth over looking for spots.
It's coming along very nicely!

IPAD SUCKS!!!!!!!!
I used to watch your web cam for years, but now I got this friggin' iPad( my computer broke) and it don't support flash. So it's been a while since i'v watched.

I'm red_albino on your site.

Palepainter · October 7th, 2010, 06:07 PM

You can watch this new service on Ipad I am told. Try the link.

aircoolednewf · October 7th, 2010, 06:28 PM

Thanks Mike, but I already tried,
It just says... Currently only available in flash.
I love watching you paint, i'v never seen another airbrush artist work before, just in mags, ( well in our shop they paint the props, but there not experienced painters, good artists, but not experienced with an airbrush) I had to learn the hard way, and I'm still learning.
Your actualy on my list of people to meet.
I met Dennis Mathewson last year in his shop in ,honalulu,
I met Vandeamon a couple years ago,
I talked to Craig Frasier, but havn't met him yet in person,
And Ron Gibb called me one time and we talked for a few hours, but I haunt gotten to his neck of the woods yet.
Well anyway, if I'm in your area, I hope to be able to drop by.
Cheers

Any time. I am always here.

Palepainter · October 9th, 2010, 05:51 PM

I am still sanding, but getting damn close. Now I am trying to figure out timing for hogging the spray room for 3 days and get this done. At least the main body, will do doors and stuff in the mix of work. I just have a few spots to touch and it is ready to spray this week.

I will be mixing colors in the next couple of days.

Weeeee. Maybe next time with pics.

**purplemyth** · October 9th, 2010, 06:27 PM

Cool! Make sure ya let us know when you get going on that! I'll check out back vids when I have more time, I like watching you pros ab, and freehanding just amazes me

My sure fire ways to make my girlfriend insane when we get married:

Speaking spanish when she doesn't
Taking her favorite "favorite, cute, bubbly little car" and RIPPING its fenders off and making it angry looking

Palepainter · October 15th, 2010, 06:04 AM

You got that right 70. The cello is much more easy on the ears than the violin. I have one of those too. :)

I am mixing color today and blowing out the car. Paint may start this evening while we are having a heat wave. I got all the rocker texture paint sprayed where I wanted it. I am all done sanding the body , hood and decklid. I will get the doors later in the week.

Next up...Pictures of car in basecoat. Weeeee

Awesome! Can't wait to see the results.

tirezan · October 15th, 2010, 06:12 PM

Wow ,your car is BITCHIN. I love the hardtop treatment.

Palepainter · October 16th, 2010, 05:37 PM

Thanks Whoza. It seemed like I was sanding for months. Which I was.. HEHEHEHEH. But it was good exercise. One thing I do have, is patience. Staying motivated when you really do not feel like it is the challenge.

So today, I shot the black base coat, let it dry then masked for the initial graphics. Then went and bagged the black and then sprayed the drab green. Tomorrow I will start the airbrushing and the pinstripe work on the main colors.

Having fun now.

**tattooed_pariah** · October 16th, 2010, 05:50 PM

Budreaux · October 16th, 2010, 05:54 PM

Palepainter · October 16th, 2010, 09:20 PM

Nason black on Sem primer, Spies Hecker drab. Spies clear. I use Nason for cleaning thinner.

**purplemyth** · October 17th, 2010, 05:18 AM

Looks good! And I hope you keep the recording of the ab work, I'm gonna be gone all day today so I can't watch

Palepainter · October 17th, 2010, 09:48 AM

Carlene, I can not get the webcam operational in my booth. But I will be doing some nose art on the decklid sometime this week possibly.

Here is some stuff from this morn. More to come as I get further along with it.
