“…….I know, it's been 2 years and it looks like I'm in the same place!..........”
Don’t feel bad I ran a 15 year build on this site. It would not be unusual for the 37 to be on hold for a coule of years as at a time.
“……..I just have to come up with a plan how I'm going to do it. Be easier if I didn't paint everything at once but I have a feeling the metallic isn't going to match. It would be a crazy amount of stuff in my little space to do all together though. All the cars I've painted in the past were together not scattered in a million pieces like this old thing………”
Just my 2 cents. When I did my old 76 Dodge truck years ago I painted everything separately as you are planning on. I used a single stage white (non metallic) urethane for color, mixed the cans together prior to shooting anything. Should have been a “perfect” paint job :whacked:
The parts were painted at different times as space allowed. For some reason when the parts were assembled you could tell the difference in the color (not a1/2 shade off more like a 1/4 or 1/8 shade) it wasn’t to noticeable to anyone but me but we’re generally our own worst critics and when we build something we know where all the flaws are (and in my case that’s generally where my eyes went first).
Then of course there was the walking on egg shells when the parts were put together to make sure I didn’t scratch anything assembling it.
In hindsight I decided if I ever did another frame off that I’d go ahead and do the jambs etc then assemble the vehicle and paint it whole (that would be especially true if I was going to do metallic).
Just my thoughts.
