GOOOS..FRA..Baaaaaa.....

For general knowledge... is it period correct to prep and paint w/ the flair's and
hood scoop in place, vs. finishing them separately and afixing them afterward?

A wise Shaolin once told me that it is important to paint the parts in the correct orientation, especially with a metal flake, to get the finished product to look correct when putting them side-by-side... so doors, hood, and trunk in place for best results, as well as flares and scoop. Minor overspray is to be tolerated, Grasshopper...

1985 CCX 07-17-2012 10:13 AM

Correct!
All rivots and affixed items were painted.... with car.

If you were to paint scoop separate, especially this color, it would not match.

Any pics of paint?

1985 CCX 07-21-2012 07:20 PM

:CRY: :CRY: Painter went on vacation till mid-next week :CRY: :CRY:
Car is all in primer, couldn't bring myself to picture.... First go around with primer left a couple slight suspect areas which needed a bit more work. Now all on point! At least ready to paint.

Still working other details though....

Well, was my birthday.... When asked what I want it will always be parts. In this case I even needed them........

Used correct nuts, cut slots in threaded end, used stainless and used aluminum sleeves. Very nice quality! Details....
