Bradan F355 bare metal paint job, Upholstery, mechanical service

Maybe a real dumb question but why not spray color on fenders before install ?

Wow! What a thread. It says a lot that you are posting up these progress pictures for the entire community to see. Lots of confidence in what you're doing. Looks excellent.

 

I love the marker lamp delete. Did that on my 79 308 GT4 - no regrets!

 

This thread is what my life would look like if I were a multi-millionaire...

And this is all before the engine out? beautiful work! Are the new fenders OEM? I'm surprised they were available. Love the look!

 

Beautiful work! Its refreshing seeing a vendor post such intimate details of their trade and it says a lot about Bradan. One of the reasons why my ‘87 TR is with Dan right now for its major service.

I paint small stuff myself at home in a small booth and its easy to see that these guys take a lot of pride in what they do. Clearly they are working hard to utilize the latest technology and innovations in their field. Bravo.

Would love to see pics like this of my major! Haha

 

Nice work as always.

Dan what color primer do you usually use when you are painting a car red?

Does the primer affect the color that much? I have heard that spraying a bright white primer on before the color coat can make the color pop more, especially with reds and yellows.

 

Great work.
The attention to detail is insane.

 

Dan,

Looked at all the labor involved with stripping the paint off the car.
Have you ever looked at using dry ice blasting to remove the paint?
A system may pay for itself in no time.
