Love that color!
Pearl paint more difficult to lay down? Yes. Sounds exhausting! Lol. A coat of white color sealer primer, two coats of white base coat, and in this case it was two coats of the mid coat which was the pearl coat. It lays over the white, changes the appearance of the white. The tricky part is getting is consistent for color match painting a car all blown apart like this. plus you are adding film build with each coat working towards and including your clear, so it gets harder for it all to lay slick for reduced OP sanding and buffing of the clear.
Something clever here.

Doug's Tri Y The engine mounting sucked because there are 12 different bolts involved and I had to leave them all loose so I could shift and adjust multiple brackets to get the final 2 bolts in. Then I could tighten it all up. It was a serious pain in the butt.

I gotta get this one out and get onto the next asap. this one could have gremlins right at the end as it was incomplete when it came to us. It's more complete right now that we've ever seen it!

Looking good Dave
Don't look anything like I'd have done
Pard bought a 66 mustang with power rag top, pretty clean, bought it for a driver
He gets too nervous about other folks when he's driving his 32 Lincoln and 36 Plymouth.

I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
