id rather hump a splintered 2x4 lubed with texas pete than work on a rusty car!

Turns out I didn't use the nason cc. Didn't like it. I spend 1/2 the gallon trying to get it to spray correctly (on test panels) and couldn't get a real nice finish. I use montana big sky clear.
I liked the nason b/c. It layed out very nice! |

While I love black paint, and while it turned out "alright", I would not advise using this color as a first paint job.
Any little nib/wave/scratch will be amplified with this color. More pics (project is finished... for now ) |

Nice work, to see that car from start to finish, and show how much work you had put into it is great, love photos while the work is in progress, and the end result looks like it was well worth the effort.

WOW! Great work! Looks amazing! I had a 1980 as my first car. I put 89 GTI wheels on it. It was a sweet car.

****, car looks great. I wish I had the space to do something like that.
You used expensive sikkens primer and decided to use Montana clear? |
