I have a 240Z with some (a lot) of mods. (280 block with domed pistons so it's maybe a 2.65 liter. Not a stroker)
I will be working on a Scarlet Red 3 stage urethane PPG acrylic enamel using a 2 part "Centari Perfromance" additive. I did the paint job 15 years ago in my driveway.
Painted with a Croix turbine system and a Simco gravity fed gun.
Sealed with PPG epoxy primer sealer, 3 light coats PPG "red" mixing base with one drop of black in a 1/2 gallon.
2 full coats of the red integrated with high solids urethane clear and then 3
full coats of clear. wet sand to 2000 and polish. Forgot what I used... but I went over it multiple times before glazing.
It has been waxed a lot (Mothers Carnuba) and never had a anything but an random orbital foam pad and real
wool mitts. I dry with blower and chamois. I burned a couple of blowers because I filtered the air and caused them to starve and overheat. I think the 6.5 HP Craftsman shop vac (detachable powerhead) was better than my Milwaukee but not cordless.
These are scans of the car with 1 ppic 3 years before the repaint. Yes, I did the air dam and wheel flares. They are hand fabricated.
MAACO race paint job #4 The pic is a Polaroid from 20 years ago.
Test fitting the road wheels 16" infinity wheels bolted right on but looked...
The deep lipped ET style Mags that I hand polished. Mothers again. Note the sanding /compounding stains. I needed some of that yellow bonnet cleaner.
