<< he paint job.
But TODAY …ta-ta… I got the bonnet and rear hatch door painted. WOW!
It looks great, the maetallic silver I picked is fantastic. It just came
out beautifully. now to get the body painted and get it reassembled.
The paint, reducerand hardner cost about $250.00!! But it’s the new
acrylic enamel, which dries so hard you don’t have to use car polish on
it. Looks like a mirror.
LLoyd -can you tell I’m getting anxious to finish??-

Lloyd, can you elaborate on what paint you used and anything you learned?
Was it a clear coat system? The 69 is due for paint and I’m thinking about
systems. I’ve always liked Centari but wonder what technology has prduced
lately. Thanx, Steve

I think best is to read up on it, talk to the folks at the paint supply shop.
Go to a body shop and watch one being prepared. The little tips, techniques and
shortcuts you learn will be well worth the time required to get them.
LLoyd -looking for a neighbor to help move the bonnet out of the garage so I
can put the car in…-
