    These pics were taken today, 6 hours apart. I helped my friend Pat paint this (THANKS Pat). I've never painted a car before. I sprayed about 1/3 to 1/2 of the white sealer/primer, and about 1/4 to 1/3 the color (HOK Lime-Gold Pearl base). I sprayed the early coats, so he could even out my "goofs". It was fun.

    NO. I wasn't sure about that. I look at one aspect of a project at a time, and see how motivated the last step left me. This last step has me thinking that this car deserves something kinda wild. Anyway, next step is ridding myself of those 70's balloons on the rear.....then I'll focus more on motor;)
    Thanks everyone!!!!!!!

    Nothing more satisfying than painting your own car. Having it look great is a celebration ! Nice job.
