Starting to Look Like a Car!
'65 Mustang convertible my dad and I are restoring. We painted it Saturday and the pics were taken before the clear coat had even dried! I've got some better pics on my camera that I'll upload later.
I really like the color, it's called Rangoon Red, or as a buddy of ours who restores cars calls it, "Resale Red!" Here's a pic from my camera that gives you a better idea of the color that's not messed up from my cell phone camera! (Don't mind the dust, it's dusty in my dad's shop) BB

Purdy, Anthony!
That generation of Mustangs is so popular...though I'll never understand why. 69-70's are my faves. I hope you make a ton selling it.

We didn't want to put this much work into it... But yes, we're going to sell it when it's done.

I've owned several Stangs over the years, but my first was a 66 that I got at age 16, so I'm partal to the first generation body style.....Yours is looking good.

1.)What type of paint is that?
2.) How well does it spray? 3.)How much work was it removing everything, did you do that just to paint or would you tape it off if the car was already mostly assembled?

1. Not sure what type of paint it is, but I know it's a 2 stage PPG Omni paint. Not too high end, but not a cheapo paint either. I don't know much more than that. 2. I can't answer that one, but I can tell you how to turn the vent fans on then sit and watch it get sprayed! 3. Most of the sheet metal is aftermarket. This is definitely a ground up restoration. we replaced the rockers, the whole floor, and an a lot more, so most everything was already off the car. Like I said, I'll have my dad get on and answer you more fully. BB

How well it sprays really depends on what gun you are using, but overall it sprays pretty well. The primer and base coat was put on with a DeVilbiss JGA502. Then the clear coat was sprayed with a Sata Jet gravity feed conventional gun (not HVLP). The clear is pretty easy to put on too heavy if you're not careful though. Removing trim can be tough. Some require special tools. Our Mustang was already apart because the restoration had been started when we bought it. Like Anthony said, we had to replace a lot sheet metal as well. If the car was mostly assembled and didn't need a lot of work, I would probably just leave it that way. You get a better paint job when you take it apart though. We started with bare metal, but because you aren't, you may need some kind of sealer coat over any of the old paint. There are a lot of other options in paint that you can use too. If you've got any more question, let me know and I'll try to help you as much as I can. By the way, we aren't big Ford fans, but when we bought this, GM project cars were at all time high prices. When we do another after this it'll be a GM, even though Anthony wants to do a Mopar. |

I'm sure I will be picking yalls brains in May, this summer I want to get some real work done on the caddy...it has a few small dings that need to be handles, a little rust, so I am thinking of stripping it anyway - its just that is a lot of surface area to do, in black, for a first job spraying. A little daunting, but the price tag to have someone else do it might be worse and with less control over results.
Did you construct a sort of booth or just do it in the garage with lots of fans on? I've heard the fumes are pretty gnarly.

ive had better luck spraying in a garage as is. theres no better teacher than to just get in there and learn as you screw up along the way. painting will test your nerves.

We spray in an actual spray booth (not a car spray booth) at my dad's shop. It's set up for spraying stain and painting doors that they do, but it works ok after a thorough cleaning.
But when we're done, it won't look like a home done paint job. We've had guys that do body and paint work want to know who we had paint the Camaro and even guys want my dad to paint their cars. It's basically going to be the selling point of the Mustang since it really isn't anything special. BB
