We Have Sealer!!

We touched up a few areas that needed Metal Glaze or a little more sanding, and went out today to apply the Epoxy Sealer from PPG (JP385). Sealer will provide a uniform color to everything on the car, and will provide a good sticky surface for the paint to adhere to.

We needed one good wet coat of sealer to cover the car, and the local shop said that one quart would do the trick. I'm glad I had a second quard on hand, because we ended up just a little bit short. We used a spraygun that is new to us, and is different than the one we used for SlickSand. It took a few sprays on a piece of paper to dial in the gun, and then we were off!

In order to spray both sides of the doors without repositioning them, we had to make this silly looking modification to the door bucks. There's a piece of wood inside each door that is attached to the long piece of wood, so it is not as precarious as it looks.

As you can see from the first picture below, the sprayed finish has a little bit of a shine. Once this has cured, we will get back to sanding the car one more time. This time, we will use wet/dry sandpaper at 500 grit to wetsand the entire car.

We're getting closer!
