  1. Well sh*t, nothing like keeping a thread up to date haha..................... So finally got some colour on the X and got it together to make sure everything fits. Floorboard isn't the one i'm using but it's what i have at the mo'. Will ride it around a bit over summer then pull it apart and do all the stuff i should've to start with.

    Definitely over black. Just use black base coat. You just put the binder/pigment mix on like basecoat, it's easy as.

    400 for solids, 600 for metallics. Don't use a scotch pad to "sand" anything. I only use a scotch pad when I do blends into other panels, but only after iv'e gone over the blend panel with 1200. 400 wet is closer to 500 dry. I used to do everything 'wet' but now use a Festool dry sander and haven't looked back.
  6. I was doing that kinda stuff in oz in the early 90s. Done a f**k ton of old minitrucks and drag cars in that style. Long live the 'heartbeat' pinstripe, palm trees and checker boards lol.
  7. Have painted hundreds. (well probably not hundreds lol) What's ya plans for it?
  8. Have had a bit of a play around with different things and will be going with a rubberized coating with body colour over that for the floorboard. Yeah man no prob'.

    Have you only gone through the clear? If so just flatten with 800 or 1200 then just re-clear the whole panel. Easy as mate.
