Old ford woodgraining
thought i would brush up on my woodgraining, its been over 20 yrs. since i:ve done this, since then all the products have changed. my dad has some 34 ford 4 door garnish moldings laying around that i fixed and woodgrained.
 before i started, heavily pitted  after alittle mud work  few coats of primer  after base and woodgraining, went to clear coat, but was still tacky, plus one of the molding decided to hit the floor,    this weekend i will have my son clear coat, sand and recoat

Re: Old ford woodgraining
That looks really awesome! Just curious, do you always use those dust masks while painting? I've always used a respirator.

Re: Old ford woodgraining
If it is 2 part catalyzed enamel the isocyonates will settle in the lungs... VERY VERY BAD.
A dust mask is not good for any type of paint fumes... if you can smell paint... NOT GOOD! I have been painting since I was 8-9 first thing was a horse trailer, I have not always used a respirator (young and invincible) however I do not sand etc anything without wearing an activated charcoal respirator. I now use a forced fresh air supply when I spray catalyzed paint.
