Masking a car is tedious, but it's an exciting step because it means that paint is imminent. After all the hours of preparation leading up to paint the finish line becomes very visible. The Chevelle will be painted with PPG basecoat as well as their 2021 clear. It's been a very hot summer here and that has lead to many delays in applying the paint, but the time has come. The car was moved into the booth and put up on jack stands to make access to the rockers a bit easier. With all the masking complete it was time to wipe down the entire car with wax and grease remover and then tack it off a few times. The PPG Shadow Gray was mixed thoroughly the gun was filled and on when two coats of base coat - it happens so fast! |
