1954 Packard Cavalier

 

Here you can see the epoxy primer and a bit of filler. It is now ready for primer surfacer.

 

 
 

Now the sheetmetal parts have been installed to the body. The primer has been blocked several times.
The shaded primer is now ready to be wet sanded prior to painting. This original Packard color is
metallic blue, therefore the car will be painted as a whole. We will use base/clear for this one.
The jambs will be carefully masked and little evidence of masking will be noticeable.
 
 

 
 

 

Meanwhile, we have completed the fit and any work we are doing on the chrome and stainles steel trim.
It is all carefully cratedand shipped to our chrome, pot metal and stainless restorer or 'chrome plater'
in Pennsylvania. There it is restored to a beautiful finish.
