68' Vette Mo Color

More Wet Sanding FUN. I've got Popeye arms from all the sanding.
So the first round of color was applied directly to the wood as a stain. This seeps into the grain. It's then lightly sanded back to intensify the grain effect. I then sprayed 12 good coats of clear coat to add some depth. Here I'm adding tint to the clear coat. I do this directly in the gun, it's not rocket science. I'll add and mix till I get the right flavor of grape juice and away I go. I then sprayed a good 6 coats of tint. I'll wet sand and apply 6 more coats of tint before the final 12 coats of clear. It's too bad Deep Purple isn't touring anymore, I think they'd like this. I'll bet Steve's (the owner) jumpin' out of his skin, just dying to see this.
