We also did the doors....
Painted a base on the hood but it is not done yet... Oh and in the back on the parts cleaner is my master cylinder...
Oh and here is a random picture of my Dogs....

- Sprayed 2 coats of the primar
- sand primar with400 grit and then touched up troublesome areas with a scuff pad ( the maroon Pads)
- Mixed paint to specifications
- Nason 2K urethane- full thane - single stage

The color is cool. Is that the sunset orange color I see on a few of these mustangs on this site? You should hang anything shot off the car. You'll see why when you have to peel the door off the cardboard.

I know it should be hung but only one side is shot i will shoot the outside of the doors when i shoot the car and the doors will be on the car. I have not had to peel them yet so i think i am ok.

the thinner that is used in the paint ,not normal laquer thinner. It works really well to clean it off and as long as you let it dry i don't see a problem with it.
