All the sanding and preparation work is finally complete, and we were ready to spray the DuPont BMW Estoril Blue on our 1965 Chevelle.  After all the primer was wetsanded to a 600 grit finish, body technician Nathan Newberry wiped the surface down with wax & grease remover and sprayed the body with DuPont Hot Seal sealer to create a barrier between the basecoat color and the primer.   Next came the DuPont Chroma Premiere basecoat.   Nathan sprayed several coats to completely cover the body shell, then we masked the outside surfaces and sprayed clear on the door jambs and areas that could not be cleared once the car is reassembled.   Next up were the doors, fenders, hood, deck lid, hinges, etc.  All were checked with the 3M SunGun for accuracy.  We're going to assemble the car in basecoat and clear it assembled... stay tuned for that one!
