Vincent's 72. "EL Maro"

thank you, every chance you get is a step closer just take it one thing at a time, with winter around the corner im sure your car will start to come together

 

do it, blasting mine was the best thing i coulda done, I saw rust holes where i never would have looked if i was just grinding everything off.

 

Didn’t get much done today just a couple of small things, did manage to strip the g braces.









As someone who loves spray painting I think they came out pretty good!


After doing a bit of scanning through I decided to try something out, I noticed a lot of old school mags had the cast textured look and figured I’d try that with the stock z wheels. Without much knowledge I figured a textured paint Would do the trick and so ...



For this I used rust-oleum texture paint.


It did spray very hard and it’s a very strong smelling paint. Not like your average can where you can lightly press and release, if you do plan on trying this I recommend you keep a good distance.
As for color I decided a flat nickel would give the cast look a nice pop and I think it did, but I wish I had gone with a darker color.




And the end result !

 

Not sure my camera got the texture on the wheel Verry good, but I’m happy with the way these turned out, now I’m just gonna save up for the stainless brushed trim rings







After 2 light textured coats 3 color coats And all sealed up in 3coats of flat clear they came out pretty solid.
