BuckeyeDemon 211 Report post Posted March 28, 2021 all the panels and the body have now received their final application of primer (including undersides). so, the topcoat process starts with the gloss black urethane on the rollcage (easiest to mask). undercarriage is up next. 1 RPM reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JET 445 43 Report post Posted April 1, 2021 I hope you love masking because you are going to be doing a mountain of it to protect each part through all the painting stages. It's fun right? This is my latest one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's fun right? This is my latest one. looks great. i hate masking. I'm also not to worried about overspray in the cabin area (except trunk and dash). i spent several house masking when prepping to paint the cage, just to prevent having to sand overspray from the other surfaces when it's time to final sand those (and prevent dirt from getting blown out from goofy places like the roof area). I spent most of the evening tuesday night masking the cage to prevent it from getting any oversprays.... 2 JET 445 and TexasEd reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe the falcon probably means more to him for his reasons.... 1 Grabber70Mach reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mach1 Driver 560 Report post Posted November 8, 2021 Buckeye, two awesome builds! On the Mach, page 23 you mention the weather pack firewall connector. Do you know the manufacturer and or part number? None of my searches have turned up that connector as seen on page 22. All I've seen are round and awkward looking. Thanks in advance, this build has a reputation as the bible for 69s ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Machspeed 219 Report post Posted January 2, 2022 Buckeye, did you use the same paint color on the undercarriage for the Falcon as you did on the Mustang? I've looked at both undercarriages on those two projects and it is really hard to tell. Photos don't really capture the true color of things. The undercarriage on my Mach was a gray, wondering if I might get that mix formula from you on your Mach? Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks! i did not use the same paint color. they do seem pretty close though. i think i started with an off the shelf color for the mustang. I know I added metallic to that. I may have darkened the color (or maybe i changed the tone of the other gray parts). the gray on the falcon is also off the shelf and not modified though. it's a solid color used for many cars like jeeps and mopars. one name for it is destroyer gray. 1 Machspeed reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
