Cool Regan! You should go for it!

The first coats of Dakota was applied today

I think it's going to look great in the end. I will sand this down smooth and keep the layer of paint to a minimum before applying the nitro clearcoat.

Looking good!!!!

I probably will go for it. No hurry though. I need to see how my Jag project turns out. I may never want to do another refin project after I see the results!

We have been so dry around here for so long. Then, I was ready to shoot the stain on my Jaguar 2 days ago and it started raining and hasn't let up since. I'm not complaining though.....we really need the rain badly.

WARNING!!!!!!!

DO not use the primer I've used for this project (plasti-kote super primer) As soon as I put the first coat of nitro, the finish shrunk(?) and bubbles appered in some places.

I had to take it all off and when i did, it all came off like a snake skin

I have to do it all over again....

Fan va' synd - lider verkligen med dig

- Har tillbringat min helg med att spraya ett för tjockt lager OLY som började rinna (felinställd spraypistol), som jag sen fick våt-sanda till döds för att få jämn, vilket resulterade i att jag slipade igenom lacken en ANDRA gång. Kom precis infrån garaget efter en (förhoppningsvis) lyckad lackning.....

English version: aw - that sucks!

Hoppas den sista lackningen blev bra...?

(how did the last paint coat turn out?)

Jazzprod · Post by **Jazzprod** » Tue Nov 06, 2007 8:29 am

Ok, so this time the layers of paint remained on the body when the clear coat were applied

Now I just have to wait another two weeks for the nitro to cure .....................................

then I'll buff it out.

Mines fine now (I'm also waiting for the nitro to cure) - but more of that in my own thread :P

Looks like a killer! (again) :D

Oh, I got one beaten up re-issue

It will be ok for now but my aim is to get an original one eventually....

FAR TOO LONG....

The colour is much more dark in person, more dakota then fiesta....

Do you mean the sony DV camera battery or the old Mizar lights...??

Thanks guys...

Wow, sorry you had the problems but it looks like you got it taken care of. It looks really good!

Do you guys only allow 2 weeks time for the clear to cure? I was thinking it needed a minimum of 30 days.

The longer the better I think, but I tried two weeks with my Firemist refin and it worked out well
