2 coats down, 8 to go!

Here are some pics with 2 coats of cadillac cranberry. Tomorrow he is going over that with 3 coats of red pearl. Then 5 coats of clearcoat.

The cranberry without clearcoat looks deep bronze maroon when you look at it but it looks brown in the pics...

That looks pretty bad *** dude. I think it's gonna look great when it's done, especially with that pearl over the top.

Looks great!!! Post more pics when you get the next coats on.

Sounds like you're getting real close to having her done. You've made a ton of progress.

When do you expect to have her on the road?

Nice

I will get up some more pics tonight with the next 4 coats on but the clearcoat wont be put on til tomorrow evening. After that it will be wetsanded, buffed and ready to go. I say 2 weeks because I have a little tweaking to do with the motor and need to swap out my stock starter for my hi-torque mini and put my new fan on...
