Painting my 70 Chevelle! Paint, clear coating, color sanding..
70 Chevelle gets painted, the paint color is aqua blue metallic which I first saw on the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. This color looks great in the sun light and great in darker parking lots. The Chevelle is receiving 3 coats of color plus 5 coats of clear coat. Custom racing stripes will be added and the car will be color sanded. It will be awesome!

rear window rust repair patch chevelle ss panel fabrication with hand tools
Inspired by watching fabrication with dies in power hammers and english wheels, I did my best to reproduce the techniques with hand tools on a work bench. This is rust repair and fabrication in a home workshop. I plan to tig weld in the repair patches using plug welds on the inside and a lap join on the outside. I am using a reproduction rear deck filler panel that I was lucky enough to buy locally

1965 Chevelle Paint Spray Video V8TV
http://www.v8tvshow.com - All the sanding and preparation work is finally complete, and we were ready to spray the DuPont BMW Estoril Blue on our 1965 Chevelle. After all the primer was wetsanded to a 600 grit finish, body technician Nathan Newberry wiped the surface down with wax & grease remover and sprayed the body with DuPont Hot Seal sealer to create a barrier between the basecoat color and the primer. Next came the DuPont Chroma Premiere basecoat. Nathan sprayed several coats to completely cover the body shell, then we masked the outside surfaces and sprayed clear on the door jambs and areas that could not be cleared once the car is reassembled. Next up were the doors, fenders, hood, deck lid, hinges, etc. All were checked with the 3M SunGun for accuracy. We're going to assemble the car in basecoat and clear it assembled... stay tuned for that one!
