charles, hoping to get paint on the javelin around june if all goes well!!!

Chris Willy · Feb 11, 2009

That thing looks great. What type of paint booth do you have? I do quite a bit of painting for people and always use the base/clear. I only have an enclosed heated shop to do my painting though and always end up with "specs" and some overspray on the finished product. I"d like to find a booth but can"t justify it for the 1 or 2 tractors I do a year. You definetly know what your doing with that type of finished look. Great Job.

too bad you couldn't have painted them both at the same time to save some costs

an IH red javelin...

very nice Glenn

GeneMO · Feb 11, 2009

Charles, what he fails to tell you is the Javelin is a pig, and he has to go out into the woods and catch it before he can paint it.

WoW that looks great!!

A question tho if I may. (educate me)
Why did you do the front and the back seperately?
Why is he valve cover taped up? (is it red)
I know thats two

Thanks
Ken

chris, the booth is a bananza, 1.5 million btu with spray and bake cycles.
for ken, the reason is was shot this way was so i did not tie up the booth too long. as we put cars thru the booth, i needed to get in and out with it in one day. so, i pulled the front end off with the rails, cleaned up the motor (has some head work done at that time) painted the motor and front end parts, blasted the front rims, put new tires on and re-assembled. the valve cover was painted off the motor while the head was out, so i still have set the valves and re-torque the head after its started. and actually it was easier to paint a lot of the hard to get areas with the front end off.

Glennster:
Looking just great! Forgive me if you mentioned this in an earlier post, but what type of paint did you settle on? Single stage with hardner?
OOPS! Never mind; I found your earlier post (NAPA/Martin). Thanks anyway....
