Thread: Painting without a spray gun

Tweet

I was pretty fascinated by that story when I first saw it on the net a year or two back. From the pictures of the Charger it doesn't look too bad at all (gloss might be down a bit), but I'd like to see it in person. Bottom line though, the worst part of painting (IMO) is the bodywork. Once that gets done correctly it seems like using a gun would be a lot faster.

Just a note about Model T colors, see the link

The original Model T colors were not black on the body,
the colors changed from year to year. In 1915, they went
to black to keep the cost down (black was the cheapest). Note that a lot of the early colors were very dark and looked almost black. After 1925, Henry had to catch up with the competition and introduced colors again. Model A Fords were not availaible in Black in 28/29, see this link:

Note that the fender color was usually black, regardless of the body color....
