pic w/o tape?
By the time we got all the tape off and some of the touchup stuff done it was after dark..
I still have some touch up to do around the trim.

Im looking at colors now.. first I would have to get a new hood.. but what do you guys think? A dark green, dark blue, or black would look good.. something thats pretty easy to make look solid.

nice for a first time, i hope you taped up a little more than you have on the pic, overspray sux. deff you should do another light sanding and pick a color to paint it, the primer wont hold an even look forever if its bare

Lol, thanks [8D]


I'll probably make a pretty long post.. I have a couple of buddies who voulenteered to help me this weekend tape and roll the whole car for the first application.. probably get between 2 - 4 coats on it total this weekend.. maybe more maybe less.. should take about 5 - 7 to cover good.. so we'll see. Im going to remove the hood though.. probably order a new one and get it here asap. lol

I like it. Did you get any blisters on your finger from spraying? Back in the day my friend had a 1970 Chrysler Newport that we made into a field runner. Took a lot of cans of primer to it, our pointer fingers had blisters when we were done....hurt like a bitch! lol.....
