Can I ask you how you avoided painting the chrome portions?
On the radio bezel I painted it black first, let it dry then took a towel with lacquer thinner and carefully wiped the black paint off the chrome portions.

Got the underside of the hood seam sealed, scuffed and ready for paint. Maybe get it sprayed sometime this week.

I got the underside of the hood based and cleared today. Next I'll be block sanding the body to prep for paint. Don't know when I'll get it painted, works getting busy and daughters sports. Ryan.

Q, that is quite the setup on the booth and fans. I take it that you get fresh filtered air from the top and exhaust it out to the floor? What kind of fans are you using? What is the cfm? I may need to look at doing something similar to your setup when I paint the body. I've noticed on mine that when spraying the paint it does a decent job of exhausting the overspray but on the clear it's not as good.

Fresh warm air from the top and exhaust is actually out the plenum silver box (built from 1x2 frame and covered with foam sheathing panels hot glued to the frame) then 24" black tube hooked up to a panel that screws onto my entry exterior door inside door frame. The fans were used commercial grade window fans I found at a yard sale. I don't know the cfms but the beauty of it is I made it totally modular 6- 2x4 panels that screw together--the plenum is on wheels with the fans- exhaust tube and door panel(also sheathing with a 24" hole for the tube)
