Wow ahaha, I like the color.
I wish I had a gun.
I would go flat back. I love that color.
 
Thanks, if your wondering why I painted with half way threw the body work, I have so much crap in front of the car that I couldnt push it in so I had to bondo and paint before the rain would ruin the bondo again. Im trying to paint it so I can set i back and get it out of the way so I can finish up the motor and drop it in. That will be a fun day.

You're gonna have a handful of bolts when you're done.

I took off my bumper 3 weeks ago, I had 5 extra bolts.
I LOOKED EVERYWHERE I DON'T THINK I MISSED ANYTHING!

LOL. you have no idea. I still have to install the motor, dashboard, fenders. rear seats, and roll bar, windshield, rear glass, and hatch. Not to mention the bumpers lights, hood, and all of the trim. Ill have extra parts left over LOL.
 
Ha! Dude I've been around paint long enough to know that rustolem is good for rusty wagons, farm implements, lamp posts, and hand rails.

It sucks on cars. There is no way ever that it could look as good as a 2 part urethane paint job sprayed from a quality gun. A+ for the effort, but Fail for the follow through. Honestly the cheapest maaco job would have been better.

The thing about painting a car, is the finish quailty is proportional to the prep work and the quailty of the materials used. The shop where I worked painted brand new cars that were being built for the sema show and other events. We would spend about 40 hrs in just prep work on a brand new car. This didn't include disassembly time. I can guess it would take upwards of 100 hrs to get the op's car ready for paint. So after you just spent that much time why would you paint with a $25 gallon of paint. It doesn't make sense. The op is going to spend more in materials to put the windows back in then he did on paint. And I bet his windshield falls out because the urethane don't stick to the rustolem.

I don't mean to ruin anyones day, but don't expect anything other than dissapointment from that paint job.
