old-tank Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Watching the quality of work that you do, I am surprised that you did not paint it yourself. I cannot imagine even a "professional" shop doing any better. Painting is easy...it is the preparation that is hard. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much, I prefer to paint by a professional so that the result is the best . Maybe I will do a gloss polish at the end to make the painting even better . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebastienbuick Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 hello, sunday i went to a little car show and for what they want to see i made a little topic on the forum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebastienbuick Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 Good evening, here is some little news from the Buick. Friday of the week before (2 week) the bodybuilder asked me if I could take him the hardware for the front fenders and I realized that I had only sanded and primed the hardware for one wing. So last weekend I sanded the 34 parts (screws, nuts, clips, shims, ...) of the second wing as well as the bolts of the hinges of the engine cover. So sandblasting (photos of some sandblasted pieces, I did not put all the photos) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebastienbuick Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) After giving that to the bodybuilder, he told me he was going to get the paint this week, and he painted the inside of the hood as well as the hinges. And the bodybuilder took pictures that he sent me afterwards So there you have it for the Buick news Edited March 25, 2021 by sebastienbuick (see edit history) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
