One more step.

The cowl section of my 29 tudor is in epoxy primer. Primer surfacer tomorrow. Block sanding comes next. Then comes the color coat. Then finally I get to color sand and buff. I must be nuts! But at least being on the "barn", I know I am not alone. :D

You surely are not alone. I'm doing some color sanding and buffing as well. Let me know if this link works.

Congrats on getting closer to being done.

The link works. That is a beautiful reflection. Is that base coat/clear coat?

to me the '29s, with the coupe pillar, the small hood, the front fender design, bumper design, etc. create a cute "antique" appearance to them. I know there are negative aspects to the 1929 models but I'm speaking merely of aesthetics.

anyway thanks for the pics.

It is a single stage. This was my second time doing a cut and buff. I'm always scared to ruin the paint but I just kept getting a little more aggressive till I started seeing results.

One of them is the 29 steering column. I solved that problem by having Randy Gross convert mine to the F-100 steering box!

Great job then, but stop! You are right at the point where I go just a little too far and see primer! It is beautiful. Leave it alone.:D

If you lay on 3 decent coats of SS or clear you should have enough to work with....when dry each coat is 1 mil, and you will color sand off 1 mil.

Too many newbies try to skimp on the paint....ya gotta have paint on there to work with....and passes should overlap 50%
