Need some advice. I have a 36 Ford (350 powered) that I need to repair a small dent in a rear fender and an area of old cracked fiberglass on a front fender. The car was originally restored and painted in the mid 80’s in Canada. I plan on using Rage body filler, but not sure on the painting. I last painted a car (40 Olds coupe) in 1975 using lacquer and it came out OK. I still have all my old painting equipment. My questions:
Should I throw out my old Sharpe Model 75 spray gun and buy new?
What paint and spray gun should I use?
Should I just do the bodywork, prime it and leave the painting to a professional?

I may add I am looking for nice results, but not necessarily perfect show quality. I would be willing to sand my mistakes (as I did with lacquer) and try again. I plan on redoing another fender next year, but at this point in my life do not plan on doing a lot of painting in the future. The Ford is in a original color, Washington Blue, and appears to be a clear coat finish.

Thanks in advance for your help, Don
