Block sand and primer

So..finally started to block sand the primer. Started with 80 grit. realized i missed a few spots along the way, so a little bit of glaze needed to be used. more shots, after the 80 grit, went on to 150..
I realized that a lot of spots didn't have more than 1 coat of primer, so i sanded thru to the metal

So this past Saturday..rolled the car into the booth to prime the whole car.

Finally, it's all in one primer color! Body work turned out to be pretty decent. I haven't noticed any big spots i missed, couple of little low spots i noticed, but those will be taken care of quick. Now for the not so fun part. Start dry blocking with 150 again, then on to the wet sanding.
Almost there...almost there!

Roof needs a little more work..

So the roof has 1 coat of primer. It was sprinkling on Saturday so we figured we needed to protect the metal some. Still needs a little more work on the roof, but overall it's pretty much done. After working on the areas that need a little more love, next is time for some block sanding! yay!......





I've also have been informed that the Saturday classes at Cerritos college have been dropped for spring semester...now I have to find another school where I can finish up and paint the car. With only about a month left for this semester, I doubt I'll get it in paint by mid December.
Oh well, off to search for another school!
