    Great makeover on the MIGDET, Mom"s smile while driving PRICELESS. She is so lucky to have a daughter and son-in-law like you two.

      I love this! Making your momma happy is priceless! I moved to Texas in order to escape the harsh winters of Minnesota and my wife and I chose a house that had enough rooms to dedicate one for my mother, but she never had the chance to see it because she didn’t make it out of surgery for her heart. I miss my mom very much and seeing someone put this kind of effort into making their mother happy just makes me feel happy. Bless you all and keep doing what you’re doing!

    The MG looks great! I think that the green was a good choice and makes the car look so much better. I was a pretty good DIY mechanic in my day but painter...not so much. I did get better but the "after pain" work was not cost effective. The strangest paint technique I ever saw was in the early sixties. A buddy and I were swapping out a carb/manifold setup on his car in a closed auto dealership garage. A few stalls down a guy pulled a 1956 Pontiac in and using a piece of metal window blind and some kind of grease proceeded to "mask" the chrome of the entire car except for the windows, grill and tires. we just laughed it off and continued our work. A few hours later he returned and wiped off the grease and hosed down the car. We walked over to look at it and were amazed at how great it looked. The paint job looked fantastic! We saw other cars he painted and they were all beautiful. Really strange though.

    Watching you all work on the MG reminds me of the time that I spent polishing cars getting rid of the oxidation. I did a couple of family cars, and two of mine.
    My then wife couldn't understand why I wanted to spend hours rubbing on a car. I worked on a small part of the hood. She was surprised at the difference that it made. Then she was dumbfounded that I spent an entire weekend doing that one thing all day long, that is until people commented on how nice the car looked.
    Typically I used to levels of rubbing compound, 1 polishing compound, then finally wax. Oh, all by hand. And lots and lots of really soft towels, long before microfiber.
    Worth every minute.

    That is one heck of a transition. I am super impressed with how that paint laid down. I think I may look into those paints for painting bodies on the guitars I build.

    Single stage plan color isn't too hard to spray, but the metallics make it a challenge. Often people will mix in clear on the last coat... which sort-of defeats the purpose of single stage. But any garage spray is going to require cut and buff. Now what sucks is sometimes when you do it as soon as you did, some sanding scratches will show up later on after buffing as the paint cures.

    I had a motorcycle back in the 1980s and my buddy painted it with several coats of black laqure and I hand polised it between coats. Then he painted several coats of clear ( polished between ) then he shot the last coat of clear with metalic flake mixed in it. It was so cool it was like the flakes were floating above the paint!

    @Lander76 7 місяців тому +4

    That's a tidy looking migdet 😄
    It's amazing how wet sanding can knock down and re-level the roughest of paint finishes. If you want to take the paint finish to the next level and further enhance the depth of the gloss and optical clarity, try switching to a rotary polisher and the difference will be night and day. You could flick over the rear light clusters with the polisher too and they should come up like new.
