Hello,

I have owned my 68 289 candyapple red black top and interior 3 speed carsince 1983. I was a senior in high school when my neighbor sold me the car forfive hundred dollars.For 25years I have managed to hold on to my car towing it from state to state and keeping it in various states of hibernation since 1989.Thisyear I decided to bring it back to life after sitting at a light and having a completely restored 67 convertible pull up next to me.

I just completed a totalbody overhaulto get all the rust out at a professional body shop.I have been reading these posts for years and finally decided to join one so that I can ask questions now that I am ready to paint my carand rebuild it to its former glory. I will be looking for informationon such things as cost topaint my car and putting it back together.

Well painting yourself would save you money you probably arn't going to get the quality finish that you would get with a professional paint job. I painted my car and it came out really good but its not perfect, over spray was a big issue in my case and i payed for it by sanding it out for days.

I had a compressor already so I just needed to get the gun and borrowed some my uncles stuff (regulator, filter) for it then it was just buying the paint. If i remember right to paint my car it cost me around $800.
