904-068
February 15, 2005
I decided
to do a few more detail jobs before final paint. One of them
was front trunk paint and the other was cockpit texture and
paint.
While
I am sanding the headlight buckets, Andy is sanding the cockpit.
Andy has
got the perfect fingers for the tight corners. Because this
will be textured, we use a DA in all the flat areas with 150
grit paper.
Headlight
buckets are ready for dolphin gray primer.
I use
Wurth SKS rocker shutz. This product is rubberized and leaves
a very close texture to the original.
Those
of you with 904's, know the texture in an original car is
very ugly. We try to paint this texture a little nicer than
ugly, but still ugly.
This texture
was used to cover up all the joints and imperfections in the
cockpit panels. After this is sprayed, it will be painted
with a dark gray urethane (flattened).
As you
can see, the cockpit now looks like a million dollars, or
maybe 75.

shots.
