Afraid not. Only had a couple of hours to mess with it today. I would like to get it done this month. I will be painting it myself. Most likely using single-stage paint and a $25 paint gun.

What color you thinking? I like those little notchbacks if I could find one for cheap i'd buy one real quick.

Ooh, I always liked that color. That should look great. What were you thinking for powertrain? 302 5-speed? I'm a fan of the old Fox four eye stangs, before everyone bought all the aerostangs that I think are boring.

i think i did a pretty good job. LOL!

i wanted to test my $20 paint gun, so i had a fender that was bad to test on....

needless to say, it fell over from a gust of wind after the 2nd coat.

Needs to be sanded but not too bad.

i took the gun outta the box, set the press. to 40psi, filled the cup, and started spraying. when i finished the 2nd coat, i noticed my press. dropped to 25psi. i had never held a paint gun in my life, and will probably use this panel to learn how to use.

Keep an eye on air pressure it should stay pretty constant or it may bleed halfway through. But like i said it really doesnt ook that bad. Other than it needs to be mowed.:makefun:

play with the fluid control some, lay that paint on a tad bit wetter. It'll reduce the peel a bit then wet sand it with some 1500

looks good man
