The overspray has settled
And I have a newly painted car
... 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.You don't know what you've got til it's gone

If you color sand and buff, I'll bet that will look really good.

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 cartridgesYou don't know what you've got til it's gone

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..joeDonate Blood,Plasma,Platelets & sign your DONORS CARD & SAVE a LIFE

Looks fine, Matt!!!! In the old days, now that the car is painted, we would use a structure such as that to grow "plants"!!!!!!!
