Ok, not my car but i knew that I'll eventually get a chance to work on one.
Been waiting since August 2004 when i started my shop. It's a simple fender
and valance panel job but still cool to finally get one in! And a very clean
example at that!

Chromabase
SPI Epoxy
SPI Urethane Primer
SPI MS Clear



*The fender was repainted and the color already off from the rest. But i got it close...






*Sand P220 grit


*2 coats epoxy primer > 2 coats urathane primer...


*Sand P800 grit. Ready for sealer, base and clear.




Color is still a bit off as it was before but nice.






Clean interior!


Clean engine bay.




Maybe next time, i'll be working on my own Z...

now thats how you mask for primer

Looks good! I bet that color covered well in Chromabase!

What type of gun do you shoot with Han?

That's a sharp little car. Diggin' the slotted mags.

That looks really good Han. I've been wondering for a bit, do you paint for a living now or is this just a huge hobby for you? looks like your in a descent booth. That car looks awesome.

Han paints for a living as far as I know.. He is a shop owner in Cali..

Ryan, I used an Iwata LPH400 (1.4). And the yellow/greenish covered well (3-4 coats).

Jimmo, i'm like a hobbyist with a shop, mix matching all sorts of brands. Dangerous!

Nice work Han, wow that is a clean Z:)

I have been on the look out for an early Z car for a while, but considering how much extra cash I have at the moment (none), I think it will be awhile.

You do Great work Han:)

Thanks Alex! But i think my work, on average, is just OK. But mainly due to shop conditions/limitations...

I understand broke! Extra money?? What the hell is that?

I drive a 97 Tacoma!

I don't know Han, sanding to p800 and then sealing. Epoxy, primer, blocking, then sealing before you do base a valance? Spending 30 or more hours sanding a buffing after a complete. I would say that that is way more than OK:)

Great work Han!
