Thanks guys! I think it's ready. Today I'll go over it again with the pencil, circling any imperfections I see. I hit the roof with another round of guide coat to be sure I'm not seeing any missed spots.
 On another note, I created "Jigasarus"  to hold all the parts in the booth for painting! Roaming the land, the rare and shy Jigasaurus snags up miscellaneous unpainted parts, coats them in PPG base/clear, then let's then go in the wild to be reassembled onto a fully painted body. So I'll start the paint process today with another wash, then a final round of epoxy primer in the interior, trunk, and undercarriage. Once that's dry, I'll mask off everything and paint the trunk and the parts in the booth. The next day I'll mask off the engine bay, interior, and trunk and paint the body. Much like the Bee....a multi stage and multi day event!  More to come next week! Cheers Dave

Looks like you spritz the guide coat, have you ever tried 3M dry guide coat ? A Inquiring not so bright mind wants to know. Nice work, save some energy for the show will ya

Mike,
Funny you say that, since the 3M stuff is actually what I use. But when I went to my paint house they were out, so I decided to give this a try. I like it, actually. Most of the time I wind up spilling the dry coat and that stuff gets all over the place! Cheers Dave PS: trunk done, overspray done.... tonight will be fenders, the hood, headlight buckets and quarter panel extensions! Tomorrow night..... main body! Woohoo!

Overspray on the undercarriage, trunk, fenders, hood, quarter panel end caps, and headlight buckets painted. Tonight I'll be spraying the body! Oh.... and one more detail trick I need to do is gray primer rings around all 8 mounting points where the chassis was mounted to the assembly line fixture. More to come on that....
