66 Coupe Resto 56k warning

not mine. A dear friend of mine. I will one day

Either way, looks good. I just saw a 66 vert driving down the road. Guy is a pilot and bought the car new. He drives it everyday, and raised 3 kids with that as his only vehicle.

You can wet sand at any stage. Color sanding implies that its after the base has been applied, I suppose.

I believe it comes from the days of lacquer paint jobs, but this is coming from someone who isn't old enough to know "the good ole days". I do have pics of my day spraying lacquer on his 73 Camaro in our driveway when I was a kid.

They still call it color sanding in the biz? I thought everyone had changed over to wet sanding...

A lot of the ol' schoolers still call it color sanding but the younger generation of painters refer to it as wet sanding. I asked a former boss why he called it color sanding and he said because older painters used to wet sand single stage paints.

Appreciate it. It just made a 12hr trip to Knoxville, TN for Thanksgiving and averaged 20 mpg. Thank god for the tall ass OD 5th gear we put in it!

It's cool man, I know that things can get a little tense on here sometimes. I saw the thread on your car and it kept me inspired while SEP had my car in pieces (that wasn't the original plan). He told me I'd be happy, but I never would've thought. It's cool to see someone else restoring/driving them.
