Looks great. Motobase, goes on so easy a beginner can do it.
Not bad for a guy's first shoot. @tedgbert did a good job and got better as he went.

FYI, that door had 3 patch panels welded into it. Totally went Frito-Lay, but got worked out.
Now just 80 hours of cut/buff and he is done

67, turns out it is a unicorn year, hard to get parts for.He doing a bug, what year? Its my project right now and color looks close to mine too. Hope I can get mine this good.
Mine is a 67 as well. Yes I know the part issue well. Luckily my was mostly complete. What color is that hes going with?67, turns out it is a unicorn year, hard to get parts for.
Take your time, be willing to do it over, aim for a result, not a date.
Is that enough cheesy advice ?
Sea Blue. I think it was a 1965 color. Turned out to be tricky as there were a few Sea Blue colors. He got it from Chad in Motobase. I'll ping @tedgbert to give details.Mine is a 67 as well. Yes I know the part issue well. Luckily my was mostly complete. What color is that hes going with?
Funny. Im doing the same. L360, got it from Chads as well in Motobase. The sample I got wasnt quite right to my eye and some pictures I am trying to match to, so he sold me some of the mixing pigments to tone, and I am on a custom mix to start.Sea Blue.

Wow reading back through this I'm stealing that a frame idea. Ive been contemplating how I will shuffle things around on sawhorses. Build a huge one! I notice y'all masked off the wheel wells did he leave those in black sealer? Did he start with a gallon? How many coats and how much left? I have been debating how far to go on the inside, wells, engine bay etc.
I have to admit I have a real love for many of the 50-60s German and even the Brit solid colors. The sky blue is a great choice!Sea Blue. I think it was a 1965 color. Turned out to be tricky as there were a few Sea Blue colors. He got it from Chad in Motobase. I'll ping @tedgbert to give details.
Assuming you started with a Gallon, so 2 spray-able after reduced and you have 1Quart color left?? Did you spray color on the inside of all the fenders and lids? If so how many coats? How about CC. I'm unsure what people do for that if you aren't leaving inside fenders in Raptor or Epoxy, is it ok to spray color and leave, or top with CC? You got great results I hope I can get close to that.Hi aviator8, yes the color was the L360, Moto base from Chads. We have a little less than a quart left. Did 2 coats on body, 3 coats on all the loose panels on the A frame. Taped off the wheel wells, engine compartment, and front trunk area, because they were shot with Raptor bed liner. The Spi epoxy would have worked great here also.
Correct, just under 1 quart of color left.Assuming you started with a Gallon, so 2 spray-able after reduced and you have 1Quart color left??

When we opened the L360 motobase, our stomachs sank. It didn't look right at all.Funny. Im doing the same. L360, got it from Chads as well in Motobase.
