Phantom of the Opera
Old vette club member friend up the road and I went back and forth this afternoon about sanding my shark....
he thinks it should be done by hand, and in a x pattern to keep it even all through out....with 320 grit....I think that's just NUTZ and I will cancell the project if that's what it takes for a decent job....not looking for show quality, just that this car is very tired....
I stuck a addy in Craigslist for getting some help.....using a random orbital sander like my cheepie 5" Ryobi from Lowes Depot....
I got two replies from guys who say they can do the work, right here in my drive.....one guy is willing to work with me, but on a part time basis and I not sure what about tools/sanders....he lamented my compressor is too small to work his tools.... the other guy will just do the job with his gear and willing to bring over a compressor large enough to run the r/orbital? shop sanders with....I have the 220 line, no problem....total there to run 300 bux.....
so 300 to sand to glass, or gel, whatever makes sense....
then I have to do something about a sealer, then maybe sand it some more, then paint....
which would you guys do??
honestly, i'ts getting to be such a huge issue about painting this car...I just feel like forgetting about it....but the paint really really really SUX.....
:suicide:
