Re: Kytor Industries JP17
First up, time to build the paint booth.
Now I understand what people mean when they say LJ1 is both tan and gray.
Because of the metallic flake, the type of light and angle have a huge effect on the color. It glistens.
Gathering supplies.
+1 Paint Booth. -1 Garage.
A heat gun made quick work of the factory decals.
The doors needed some very minor repairs.
The "quick access" table continues to grow in scope. I'm losing sight of seiri methods in this project.
The pictures don't do it justice, this color is magnificent.Now I understand what people mean when they say LJ1 is both tan and gray.

The weather has been mild (40's-50's) so a 23.8MBH Kerosene garage heater keeps up just fine. I'm hoping to have the tub painted before it gets terribly cold (next weekend if all goes well), but worst case I'll parallel it with a 60MBH LP heater.
I'm near Syracuse.

Re: Kytor Industries JP17
From what i've heard, you shouldn't paint the doors laying horizontally, the metallic flakes will reflect differently and make the paint look different than the paint drying vertically on the body.

Re: Kytor Industries JP17
From scrap panels I painted in advance, and how the low gloss reacts to light, I'm going to say that's plausible but unlikely. But I'll know soon enough and will report back. Worst case, I respray the doors, no big deal.marscreature wrote:From what i've heard, you shouldn't paint the doors laying horizontally, the metallic flakes will reflect differently and make the paint look different than the paint drying vertically on the body.

Re: Kytor Industries JP17
Another update. Over the past week I've been working on significant amounts of prep work. Repairing minor dings, dents, surface corrosion, etc. I'm at post Sand Beige Poly BC, and pre-red BC. Most forums recommend waiting 1-3 hours (varies by paint type, humidity and temperature) before taping for stripes. I'm currently running a heater in the garage and will play it safe with a 3-4 hour wait. I'd rather not have to repaint due to impatience.
The holes for the CB antenna were drilled out with a pilot and finished with titanium nitride coated 1/4" bit and a step bit. I often use cutting oil to extend the life of the bits. Cleaned up with a file and ready for primer. The old door entry guards were long gone, with the hardest sticker residue I've ever come across left in its wake. This was a nightmare to remove and I basically had to take it down to bare metal. Lots of scraping, Goo Gone, 40 grit sandpaper followed by 120 grit and 320 grit. I'll replace them with new entry guards in the future, but will try to find some that screw in rather than glue. With prep work complete, I was ready for primer and paint. The shop recommended Evercoat Dura Build primer, and I'm happy they did. It works great to build up a layer, and sands extremely easily.

Re: Kytor Industries JP17
I now have the tub stripes painted, I will be throwing on clearcoat tonight. I did come across an issue with the dimensional graphic that's floating around this forum. I disagree with the dimensions for the rear stripe. Following the proper angle (72.5 deg) from the rear edge of the middle flair leads me to 1.5" forward from the graphic shown. In order to use these measurements, the angle would be closer to 70 degrees. However, I know 70 degrees is not correct because going by movie reference documentation the front is clearly 72.5 degrees. I quadruple verified by measurements and angles of each stripe.
For a moment I thought it was my angle tool, but I validated it using good old trig and it couldn't have a more perfect tolerance. I used a laser level assist to make sure my lines were straight.
Feel free to chime in if you think I'm off here, but there's no way the dimensions can be correct and hold that angle. See below for corrections:

Re: Kytor Industries JP17
Coming along nicely. That's a great way to measure the stripes angles. If I ever remove the wrap and paint I'll use this method.
