A yellow '34, and an odd happening.

I always liked yellow. My first 51 chevy P/U was yellow

The yellow streaks on the drawers came from "burping" the paint gun with a little too much pressure. I don't suppose anyone else has done that.

You must have gone crazy with the Yellow paint as even you ladder got it, I guess you are lucky the lawn mower did not get it!! ;)

that is awesome,what yellow is that "chrome??" how did you get past your neighbours ? brian

Question on cutting and buffing. How fast do you normally run a buffer with first cut compound on a wool pad? I use Meguiars 84 on a wool pad, followed by 83 on a stiff foam pad, followed by 82 on a light foam pad. I run the wool pad at 1500 RPM or so. The other two, I run a little faster, since the abrasive level is less. The Meguiars seems to work well, since it is a deteriorating compound. As you buff, the compound gets less abrasive.

Brian,

It's 1996 Corvette Competition Yellow in Sherwin-Williams BC/CC. No problem with the neighbors. I have a corner lot, so there's some distance. I also filtered the exhast fans to keep the overspray down. I never painted when there were cars within a hundred yards of the house.

Bob,

I've evicted another 4 toads in the last week or so. The neighbors are having similar problems. I'm now reading Revelations . . . I think it's a sign.

on the rubbing with wool pad i run them much slower than foam if i use a mid foam pad for mild cutting compound i will run this slow too but for the finish. i will run it faster with finish polish with light load on the buffer. i do not look at speed that much but how it works at the rpm and play with the speed. paint that is set up can take more heat . speed= heat with a foam pad there is more pad on the paint and will add more heat than wool so if it very fresh paint i will craw the pad foam and wool a lot of times i had to wheel very fresh paint i would cut the paint with 1200 and let it breath and ruff rub and let it set and then hit it with foam

:confused: How did you paint the deck lid without getting the grass yellow:confused:
Great looking paintjob. That new 'vette yellow doesn't look like it has as much red as the old 'vette yellow. I bet bugs swarm to it like they were in heaven.

Supurb gun control. :LOL:

I brought the rolling chassis home today, and as soon as I get the firewall polished, the body is going on the chassis. I don't really need to do it this soon, but I can get rid of the extra expense of storing the chassis in a AAAA Self-storage. Dippy Virginia Beach homebuilders don't know what a 2-car garage should look like. :mad:
