The New But Old

then on to the sill panel

rust..

 

 

and then since both layer were buggered i did the first inner layer.. rust conert and Red Brown primer..

 

 

as you can see the outer skin had rusted quite a ways up so to make things easier i cut it back to the body line.

and plated it back up.

 

still have to do the inner arche areas and the backing of the rear quarter.

thats some awsome progress dude

[oh what a nissan feeling!]

nice work mate, very neat job. :cool: whats the red product?

[greenmac80]

protec red brown.. its an anti corrosion paint + adhesion promoter,, pretty sure the car is already coated with something similar from factory.

its so simple to use 1:1 with basecoat reducer and roll on.

[philbey]

you a panel beater/spraypainter by trade?

 

Certainly looks like you know what your doing anyway! keep the good work going man.

[greenmac80]

thanks dude... nah i'm not a panel beater or painter by trade...

i don't have any trades.

so far i have spent 6 months being a sandblaster and i am very proficeint with it.

i have been a powdercoater for 3 years now..

i am a self taught spray painter but have recently taken charge of my own booth at work which does powdercoating and industrial painting. so i'm a mixed bag..

 

as for the panel beating shit and wleding etc. again all self taught.. this stuff is easyish if you do lots of reading and watch vids and play around with it all the time..

i am hoping to at one stage get into a crash shop and hone my skills.
