So the GR is being done in Dingotone Outback Sunset and I'm trying to get a decent gloss black on the RC..Attachment 4824Attachment 4825.
Crappy light in the RC pic but the paint is shocking....

I think I'm going to go Rat Rod on the RC....
Do I bash those bridge posts all the way in flush?
they both look good.
Well, forcefully persuade the bridge post all the way flush. Once you are satisfied you have completed the finish.Quote:

The grain is really starting to pop now. Last intensifying coat.. Topcoat on the weekend
Nice one! Loving the colour of this one, looks awesome.
wow Danglez that GR-1SF colour is really popping nicely well done.
What happened to the RC-1 how come you are rat rodding it ? Something to do with 5 cartons of Asahi beside the workbench ? hahah
You're a man after my own heart. Presenting, my spray booth. ;)Quote:

From my research and advice received it's just been too danged cold to spray outside here in Canberry..
RC is all taped up and ready for a nice sunny day to get going again.. Going to try and get a coupla nice coats on it...
ah ok Danglez, I thought that might be the case, good old freezing Canberra too cold to spray paint !
Good luck with the next coat and hope you get a warm day there soon !
Perth expecting 28 degrees mid next week - roll on spring
Yup.. It's starting to warm up but I'm off to NZ for work next weekend (gone for 2 weeks). Should give everything time to cure tho :-)
yeah sounds good Danglez, I'd say curing times in Canberra would be almost double anywhere else in Australia
Going to try and get 3 topcoats on before I go and then leave it at that while I'm away...
which build you talking about Danglez with the top coats ?
The GR... It seems to be doing a lot better than the RC
Welp wouldn't you know it the sun came out :-)
2 and a half rattlecans of gloss black onto the RC-1 and just put the first of the final coats on the GR-1SF.
Will ppst pics shortly...
And took all of the empties to recycling too Wokkaboy :-)

Much better!!!!

Mockup :-)
Second finishing coat on tonight, last one this weekend then I'm OS for 2 weeks. Good curing time.
huge improvement Danglez on the Riccy - you didn't bother cutting a headstock shape ?
The GR is looking sweet that grain is really bouncing well.
Good amount of curing time while you are away
Did a little shaping but not a bunch, my photography skills aren't great either. Took about 1-2cms off it and it's cut at a slight angle. Just not much shaping.
great going mate, i have a few on the go at the moment and yet to finish one, you are nailing these
Was a bit scared of mucking up the wiring on this beastie so just ordered myself a genyuwhine TV Jones Hotrod wiring harness from the US of A.
I'd hate for my crap soldering skills to screw anything up and who needs tone controls :-)
Wet sand... and again and again.. and again
Back after some time overseas and accompanying illness....

Seriously if anyone is building one of these get the harness install tube kit from TVJones.com. Makes life so much easier.
