I painted the '56, what do you think?

I wasn't planning on putting a clearcoat paint on it this year but my winter project turned out better then expected and my buddies talked me into clearcoat paint. The car is not perfect, but this was my first full car attempt at body work, I learned a ton, with the help of my friend who owns a body shop, and it feels great to be able to say I did it. Now all the patina parts that were just fine for a primer paintjob have to go, but that will have to wait until I get caught up with the bills on this one so far. There is also a pic of what it looked like 2 years ago when I bought it.

 

Looks nice, glad you went with some clearcoat makes it look much better.

 

Wow, that came out great! puts some "pro" paint jobs to shame from what I can see...

 

Holy crap, that looks bad ass! Nice color combo!

 

Nice save of old metal. Looks sharp. It doesn't have to be perfect. I actually prefer it not be. I do like the paint better than primer though.

 

very nice! and different from every other tri 5! good job

 

Looks GREAT!!!!! You did a nice job with the color combo....
Would like to see yours parked next to this one.....would make a nice pair.....

 

Yeah it looks really nice. I am with the others guys, the clearcoat was a good choice. Nice work!

 

Cool color combo, way to save another car from the dirt to the streets.
