The bird is Finally painted!!! June 30, 2007, 05:40:14 PM Right after work last night, I came home and stripped it for painting, I painted the door jams and under the trunk before dark, then Painted the rest this morning. The next project is to pull the motor and drop in a 331 for the Turbos.The colour is '99 Ford: Bright Atlantic Blue Metallic.Turned out ok, I think. I ran out of hardener so I only got two coats on the bumpers. I will pull them off again next week and finish them. Quote Selected

As for the bumpers, they only got two coats, and you can see the factory colour through it in some lights so I need to do a couple more coats next weekend. Ran out of hardener. I will finish my Cowl hood and throw on it by then too.I am very happy with it for my first paint job, and spraying it in my back yard under the trees to boot! Man does it turn heads! I have already had two people tonight yell "nice ride!":D at me.I will give it a couple of weeks to cure then I will wet sand it and buff it out, as there is some orange peel in it. I counted on that happening anyways(actually I counted on sags and runs, but didn't get any :D SWEET! LOL) so I did 5 good coats, for that purpose.Used a brand new HVLP gun kit I got from NAPA. Devilbliss Startingline. First time using an HVLP, and I really like it. Quote Selected
