Featured Car

This featured car is one we did awhile back for a customer, it’s a sleek 1968 Mustang Fastback. This project floated the line of restoration and paint job for awhile, but in the end my heart said to dig in. Check out the video below and learn where the paint job had to get some extra lovin’! Enjoy!

The “Restoration”

We threw restoration in quotes because this vehicle came in with the intentions of just getting a paint job, however I am not one to let the car leave like it shouldn’t. After we pulled the nose and bumpers off it was clear we needed to step up our game and go the extra mile! Instead of pull, sand, prime and paint we did a lot more.

The extra mile:

• Week one was tearing down and welding
• Then we did the body work to Straighten all panels
  •  Hand blocking and High solids Primer, This process takes time and patients!
• After that we start final sanding
• Refinished all the jambs and inner panels in color and clear coat
• Start the final prep and ground coats
  • A few coats of high solids clear
  • Wet sand with 600 g to set up a good base for the stripes
  • We ran the standard 1968 mustang side c stripe and the 2 center black stripes for the hood
• Now Clear coat
  • We used 1.5 gallons of High Solids clear over the Red Pearl Metallic
• The car came out flawless for “just a paint job!”
