    I'm shooting my 32 with acrylic urethane. To warm up I painted the bottom and firewall first. This picture is the bottom with no color sanding or buffing.

    It's not in the same class (or universe) as what hotrodpaint does of course, but it was my first ever attempt at painting. I shot it outside of the garage with no booth on a nice calm morning in Texas. There is orange peel on the bottom but I don't really care about that. But I like the reflection of the rag in the paint in the photo! There was peel on the firewall as well that I color sanded and buffed out readily.

    Good Luck, Kitz
