And I have a newly painted car:D... it's probably a 20 footer now, but I plan to redo the bodywork correctly in a couple of years anyway.... it's been sitting for too long, and I just wanna drive it now..... still made it look decent, even with the un- ideal paintiing conditions..
next, I get to do the interior, put on the emblems, new exhaust, and get the brakes back up to snuff ( M/C needs bled ).. and hit the road... hopefully by mid august, I'll be driving it.
matt what color is that is that pitty tink......ted
My camera did that... it's really more of a grape purple color.... just now every picture I take of it, it'll look like I have a pink car:LOL:Quote:

The point is, "Get out and Drive it"
probably will color sand and buff it out.. just want it ready b4 the cruising season ends in late september
oh, and as for the equipment I used.... $30 Campbell hausfeild gravity feed paint sprayer, 120' of 3/8" goodyear rubber air hose and water seperators on each end as well, as a big seperator in the hard part of the air system.. and the compressor is just a 4hp 10 gallon, 5.6 SCFM $119 unit from Harbor Freight, and I had no lack of air with the standard velocity gun.... for breathing, I used an A/O saftey carbon filter mask, and went thru 3 sets of cartridges
Looks pretty darn good Matt, Even if it is pink! :LOL:

i think it looks really good. pink or purple.
Color looks almost like 73 VW Pop Lilac which is the color I was going to paint our 40 Chevy back when we had it.
Looks good Matt..joe
Looks fine, Matt!!!! In the old days, now that the car is painted, we would use a structure such as that to grow "plants"!!!!!!!:D:D:D;)
Nice work Matt. I hope my home job comes close~!:3dSMILE:
See? Purple does photograph PINK!! Glad to see they have someone else to pick on Matt. :LOL: Looks good. :):)
