    I just got out of the booth. The Tudor is in paint (less the front wrap). I'm pretty damned happy to say the least. I'm just a hack amateur, but I got decent results. It is my first time spraying metallic and first time with BC/CC. It is also only the 3rd car I've painted.
    I'll put up more, better pics when my better half gets back with the camera. For now enjoy a couple ****py phone pics.

    Man, yeah agreed, nice color. That looks like it is going to be a hell of a nice improvement. Going to have to change your hamb name from Crusty Nut to Shiny Paint.

    Thanks guys. I really am a hack. I read as much as I could, but there really is no replacement for experience and I just don't have any with real painting. I'm a frame guy and I can spray ch***is black like a mofo.
    For all the guys asking what color it is, It is this.
