AAR Cuda PROGRESS pics.. (PAGE 11)

[AARudy]

no laquer...base coat clear coat...an AAR Cuda, will not have ANY black under the wing or wrapped around it's ass end..
I've never seen any car have black under the wing like that
....1970 challengers had a rear strip similar to what your talking about....the "seam" at the tail  panel is under the chrome trim....so you wont tell where the blue and black meet....

Rudy that looks awsome,I can't wait to get a photo of it done so I can show it off to John.I like John but have found him to be one of those guys that will bad mouth you behind your back.The red aar is ready for paint and the guy that has done that car has done an incredible job also.Keep the photo's comming-------the clown

[crcarch]

OH MAN!!!!  THAT IS BEAUTIFUL!    A color I can definitely relate to! 

[AARudy]

yeah...John also has the build sheet for my car and wont give it up...so???
I have a second copy now though from another owner! :^) AND a copy of the 1st from John...either way I'm happy now...if I had some guys build sheet, I'd give him the damn thing...thats the way I am..
R-

[moparclown]

Do you want me to try and talk to him about that build sheet,maybe I can embarass him enough to give it up.

[AARudy]

not yet...i want to see what happens when the car is all done...
I have a feeling he is goig to try and sell it to me...if thats the case, I dont even want it.
we'll see what he has in mind...

[moparclown]

Just keep me posted on it and I'll help out in any way that I can.And it sounds like you know him pretty well,I just feel that if you own the car that you own the build sheet to.But I won't say anything till you say so.------the Clown

I will have to check it out...I probably saw a challenger or an incorrect paint job. Thanks.

I call that roger gibson restoration place talked about and the told me their organisol paint is still lacquer based.  Are you using another product?

[AARudy]

oh yeah...that is a lacquer...because we have to be careful not to paint over the blue...it will start cracking...so i think your right about the  O-black being a lacquer...we haven't shot it as of yet...I thought you meant the B5 blue...sorry!!! it's our next step...

[AARudy]

Here's some shots in the sun! We started to wet sand the fender....
This chromabase paint is awesome...inside the booth I thought the color was off...more like Jamaica Blue...I was kind of worried at first, and my friends all had to calm me down at the shop...the B5 looked very dark...but when the car was rolled outside, man the color was on the money! The paint has 3 different sizes of metallic, and when you walk around the car you see he panels go from dark to light depending on the angles, and sun...so if your painting with this B5 mixture, and do a high quality paint job, expect that...I cant wait till its completly buffed! More pics to come...

Awesome Job Rudy,

I enjoy following your progress.  Mine is ready to do back for final paint, I am just waiting on the shop to squeeze me back in.  So for now I am enjoying yours.  Keep up the good work.

I LOVE the way your car is turning out! 
I planned on using PPG as I have already bought (and partially sprayed) the primer...I hope the PPG looks as good as your Dupont!?

Is that chromabase a special formula?

[AARudy]

Thank you! It's no special formula...the computer mixes it to factory specs based on the paint code on a cars fender tag etc.
