Brake Booster
Quote:
I have been messing around with brake boosters. Just playing with a new larger plating setup and yellow chromate. Im not quite there with how I want the finish to look. The first pic is of the booster inside when i took it apart. I actually have 3 apart and there not very golden, more light rainbow colored. The 2nd two pictures are some trial runs of plating and chromating.

Preparing the body for Paint
I did start wet sanding the body. You just have to clean up the rough finish, remove most of the guide coat and look for any dents or imperfections that could have happened while assembly has been going on. Its a messy ordeal, but im about finished. Should be done this weekend and will start the masking process which is probably the most time consuming part of the car being painted in the booth.
Just a few pictures of progress.
