RE: Ivan's coupe [it seams I applied some sealant]
No progress on the carbon clad spoiler yet, I had to put that on hold due to severe allergic reactions to the epoxy.
Will need to buy a painting suit or something like it to keep the dust off my skin. BUT: new progress on the shell has started to materialize. Yesterday it was put it the rotisserie for the final time (hopefully) to get to work doing seam sealing and undercoating. Am using a 3m polyurethane seam sealer. Application goes as complicated as I can make it. First I tape around seams: Apply sealer using an air caulking gun (to spare my hands all the squeezing) and use finger to nudge it into crevisses. Remove tape before the sealant cures, which allows for clean removal of the tape. It is also fiddly enough that it takes long enough to allow the sealant to cure enough for the final step. Use a pre-paint cleaner to dip a gloved finger and brush this over the sealant to get a cleaner looking finish. The cleaner stops the sealant from sticking to your finger (if its cured enough). I was a bit optimistic when buying just 3 tubes of the stuff. Think I will need at least 2 more, maybe 3. Emptied 1 out on this corner alone, but I was applying way too much to be honest. When the bottom is sealed up, it is going to be painted with Raptor liner in gunmetal gray metallic, which is also the color I will be using for the engine compartment and interior. The exact color I decided on is Nissan's KH2: Also need to start thinking of making access holes for a royal application of cavity wax wherever I can get it. FABRICA MI DIEM, PVNC! |
