Prior to this 1968 Charger RT arriving at my shop, all of the major rust repair was completed but unfortunately the whole car was then sand blasted using "black beauty," a very aggressive blasting media. This created waves over 90 percent of the surface and an enormous challenge to make it right again. First I corrected what the first welder had done poorly. Then a skim coat of body filler and a great deal of block sanding was done to remove the waves before the primer coat was applied. The final paint was many layers of base followed by 4 coats of clearcoat. After being wet sanded with 2000 grit and buffed, the finish looks great. The customer wanted to do some of the final assembly in his new garage this winter, so the bumpers were mounted along with a few other trim pieces and it was ready to go.
A skim coat of body filler applied to get the waves out.
Urethane primer and green spot putty are the final stages before final block sanding.
2 stage urethane paint, wet sanded and buffed. Almost ready to go.
