Default Black and Orange Painting

Between the last 2 weekends painted some chassis parts along with some engine pieces. Did some rear end factory paint marks.

Rick I agree with Dave - Looking great! - question do you have any preference on the engine orange paint? reason I ask is whatever I used on my 302 I'm not happy with, I Don't remember what I used- Duplicolor? -as it turned almost flat orange after driving it I looked at a thread here and Seymour Hi-Tech EN48 was suggested, and I see several brands up on your shelf
thx Rich

Default Engine Paint

Hi Rich,

I have been using the Bill Hirsch stuff for all engine builds i have done. I have used everything from there Hemi orange for some 6 pack engines I built for some other guys as well as the Chevy orange for my cars. This last time i picked it up it seems to have a very long dry time, as in over a week or more. The parts still could not be touched a day after painting In the past it seems like it dired much faster. With Bill Hirsch it also seems that one time you get a quart and it is thin enough to spray and the next time im adding a reducer to because its to thick.

The reason i like it is it sprays easy, drys glossy, and after a motor is fired and gets a few heat cycles dulls down just a bit to more of a semi gloss to satin. Very durable and you can touch up, heat cycle an engine and never tell where you touched up.

Default More Body work and my thoughts on NOS sheetmetal

This is just a glimpse into the time commitment required for body work. All panels are stripped and dents worked out, followed by filler to smooth out areas. This gets followed by epoxy primer. Something else that is a pet peeve, NOS sheetmetal is does not mean perfect, and in most cases the parts you get had flaws. This quarter proved to have some serious issues behind the back wheel. Worked out the metal best i could. Also managed to get the tail panel worked, and mudded for a first sand. If your wondering why all mud, its because much like rockers you will never find a straight one. Just the way it is.
