  • Here it is guys my 1962 Thunderbird all painted

    Well here it is guys, My bird is finished getting painted , It cost me 1K at maaco and they did a fantastic job, but it does need to be color sanded which I do not know how to do, they were going to charge me an arm and a leg to have it color sanded, but I know I have this site with so many knowledgeable people and I think I can learn how to do it through here. but anyways let the drooling begin

        Thanks guys, it is not a show car by anymeans, it still has a couple of visible dents but I am happy, I cannot wait until I do the first polish and wax job on it, it will be a very glossy deep white paint. it is so cool I am still speechless .

                            The paint job is a Acrylic enamel apoxe paint. they had to re prime the car because their new apoxe paint would peel with the primer I put on. I am going down there today to ask them for the pics I asked them to take when it went into the booth. Thanks J.A. Michaels for your compliment.
