1961 impala bubble top is painted! Four aces

[@johnecclesine8370]

I never blow DBC unless sanded with 500. 400 or less will show sand scratches. 2 coats will cover 500 real nice. You need to pull away at least at inch or two with your clear; way too heavy. Better to have more material hit and stay with a fine, not as glossy texture than get closer, going for gloss; a lot of your clear bounced off , ended up on the floor. Especially when you plan to cut and buff. The gloss looks good when you're spraying but is way more work to sand flat before buff than more material staying on the car with a very fine, easy to sand flat-slight texture. Excellent body work and prep👍

[@lonestarlows]

Thanks. Yes. I've changed my habits. On this car I sprayed at 28-29psi now I spray at 35 psi. Smaller droplets filling in. I also don't use that clear anymore. I've never used 500 grit paper? Didn't know it was a thing. I don't use DBC anymore either. They have priced me out. Can't afford it.

[@SprayWayCustoms]

Turned out real nice

[@lonestarlows]

Thanks.

[@RedRocket64]

This video does no justice to this car, looks way better in person, great work 👍

[@joeb9543]

Looks Real Good I’m diggin the color as well 👍

[@lonestarlows]

Thanks. Stay tuned for more

Thanks

[@alfredgarcia766]

Came out Nice 👍🏽. Black stripe would look good with that color.

[@lonestarlows]

May experiment w vinyl stripe. Dont like it peel off throw away

[@oscarsanmartin4240]

That color is getting popular.im seeing it on more cars lately.looks like sealer to me.over all looks good 👍.

[@lonestarlows]

Thanks. I first saw the color a couple years ago when i went to test drive a charger. I was more interested in the color than i was the car

[@Grant7]

Good job....came out nice

[@lonestarlows]

Thanks

[@Jason-zw2dg]

Hands down the 61 is the best hard top impala. I'm liking the new non metallic colors Toyota has been putting out lately. I think they would fit an old school perfectly. Just my latest thought. Your color looks great to.

[@lonestarlows]

I agree! Alot of flat solid colors look vintage.

[@Jason-zw2dg]

@@lonestarlows they do. I'd have to look up the color names but I think Toyota has 3 right now that really caught my eye

[@lonestarlows]

Ford has a color ive seen on a couple f150 it looks like this destroyer grey but has a hint of blue pearl in it

[@Jason-zw2dg]

@@lonestarlows I know what color you're talking about

[@Jason-zw2dg]

@@lonestarlows gotta say. I just stumbled across your channel the other day. You guys really put out some quality builds. Very impressed. Looks like you have impalas down to a science. I wish you guys continued success.

Great job one of my favorite colors👍

[@rockerpat1085]

You're correct about it being a lot more work than it looks on video!!! When I painted the 47 it took two full days and by the time I was done my arms felt like noodles!!! Looks good and gray!!! Happy Thanksgiving and Keep Rocking it out!!!

[@lonestarlows]

Thanks pat. Happy thanksgivings to you as well.

[@dirty4op]

Bugs love the smell of paint!

[@lonestarlows]

Yes sir. They come from anywhere to drink it

[@801rider]

Runs are part of the game, you don't want them, but you really don't want a dry spot somewhere

[@lonestarlows]

Yeah. Thin line between wet and run. I let flash longer on the shell than i did on the dash. It worked

[@801rider]

lonestar lows looks great. Keep the vids coming

[@teggsrb18c1]

When you showed that fan in the window at the beginning of the video, I was like “ehhhh, I don’t know about that” lol

[@lonestarlows]

I think it would have done ok with no filter. Problem is the wind is blowing in that direction and bogs down fan and blows trash on car...but yeah. Need to rethink ventilation for big projects. Doors hoods it will do fine.

[@goldfinder49er1]

nice im old school and like to mop the floor before and during the spraying keeps the dust down

[@lonestarlows]

My only concern with that technique is. A wet air hose dripping on a panel

[@goldfinder49er1]

@@lonestarlows naa just offering suggestions; if you drag the hose on the ground you are raising dust and creating static electricity on the hose which picks up dust,every step you take does the same thing by mopping the floor not by puddling it,it holds the dust and over spray as well and on that fan, try to find a heating and cooling place near you or go on craigslist to find a squirrel cage fan from an old heating unit look in my videos for how i built a box around it and filter keep up the good work

[@lonestarlows]

@@goldfinder49er1 will do. I used to have a squirrel cage fan in my other shop

What color is that love it👍🏾👍🏾

Dodge Chrysler destroyer grey

[@user-sk5cv7hj2m]

My customer just got my materials for his Impala. 1 gallon of red Deltron with my discount was $1,200. 2 kits of 2021 clear was over a thousand. Plus primer abrasive etc. I use a lot of clear because I flowcoat but materials are nuts in price.but it’s great paint and it will last 20 years if taken care of.

[@lonestarlows]

I hear red is the most expensive color, but that's nuts...

[@eze713]

Looks Good! You going to the Autorama show in Houston this year?

[@lonestarlows]

I might make it out there at some point. I havent been in over 15yrs

[@osogarcia8651]

Looks good what kind of air compressor are you using or I should say what kind of paint setup

[@lonestarlows]

I have a quincy compressor, QT-54. A devilbiss filter. And just a rubber air hose running thru the rafters into my paint room. Works fine.

[@osogarcia8651]

Thanks i appreciate it I have a couple of cars I'm building myself one is a 63 Impala I appreciate the information

[@lonestarlows]

@@osogarcia8651 i suggest a quincy. Last the rest of your life. Ingersol rand good too but they arent made in usa anymore
