Brian,

I have been using "O can I say it here" a Harbor Freight HVLP purple gun which sprays pretty well. I have played with the adjustments per the paint forum from where I bought the primer from. Have had some up and downs but I think I have it dialed in pretty good for both the HB and Epoxy. I am thinking of buying another one that way I don't have to keep changing the tips out between primers.

Maybe my car is just in that ruff of shape I will need 10 gallons or so of the HB.

Maybe I am on pace with what I have used so far.

Thanks for you feedback.

Guess I will post this here also to see if anyone of you know.

I just got in from HB priming the rumble seat lid, the top part of the hood, golf door and cowl vent. Was going to do doors also but ran out of primer. Time to order some more.

I have a question to anyone that does this for a living how much primer, paint is used in painting a car like mine?

I have gone through a 1 3/4 gallon epoxy primer and 1 gallon of HB primer. The HB build was just the doors, two top pieces of the hood, rumble seat lid, golf door and cowl vent. Not all pieces have had the final HB on them either.

Some year I will make my first trip out there. This year has been one busy one for me with my restoration and work.

Wonder if anyone here will be attending the Florida Packard Club meet in Sarasota on November the 11th

I will be down there visiting my stepfather and will be stopping by the meet.

Randy,

You are in deep too. Keep trucking you will have it done by Thanksgiving

Both. I go to bed around 10:00 Central Time. Wife and I are up around 4:10 am and we are both out the door by 4:45 am. It does take a toll on me somedays.

Mal,

Congrats to you it made it there in one piece. Good luck with her. Another good looking car :)

Hi Mal,

Thanks for the updated pictures. That interior sure looks in pretty good shape for being 20 years old. Is it driven often?

If anyone is interested I have uploaded some new pictures to my photo bucket.

Time will tell where I will go with a color.....
