Guessing you live on a hill then

yep.. there is small hill.. so no flooding problem

[cem_devecioglu]

although had some problems because of hurry for rain finally today painted it


just after I finished it rain started but it was covered already

result better than I expected.. tomorrow will wet sand 1500 , 3000 trizact then polish..

and a word of note for home diy painter:  for metallics paint a part completely unless there is specific reason not to..   but if you have to paint partially , color paint the problem area only (not total) than spray shortly around  far and tiny with fast movement  then advance the laquer a bit further than the painted area (but dont reach the masking limits or you will have a stair of paints).. and than spend your life sanding

and the painting finished today (I painted twice , didnt like it.. removed new paint and blocked sanded again)


need to block sand heavily (wet 240)  as surface was awful like a geography map.. lots of bondo



epoxy primed as usual.. sanded with wet 600



and painted .. only one spot a very small fly passed in front of my satajet while spraying    and nosed dived into laquer

I have fed up long time ago..  but a good paint is  % 99.999 sanding % 0.001 painting.. what can I do

and I hate sanding very low parts , you cant see and your belly will have pain within short time

  My Monza was treated to two coats of epoxy primer as the paintshop decided to do a bare metal job on the whole car, lots of sanding!

and the hardest point is the passage/intersection between old and new laquer.. you use the highest number (1500-2000) -old- sand paper and carefully arrange the passage/intersection.. for few cms you work for more than an hour (or two) carefully not to damage the old laquer..


normally I dont do these kind of painting.. but friend will sell his car and dont want whole parts to be painted

ps: will post the final pictures after polishing

sometimes its much better if you cant trust the lower layers

Epoxy primer seems to be the way to go nowadays , should last forever

very good material.. the only drawback is it hides the small scratches and dings (or imperfections) because of its color.. so after sanding you have to apply 2 coats of original metallic color without laquer - too see imperfections left

but one good side it keeps window 72 hours (glassurite)

ps: I bet very few will understand this "window"
