Painting cars really isn't that hard, I've done maybe 6-7 cars in my garage. The hard part is getting them ready, everything you've done will show after the paint is layed on, one car was for my mother in law, a 1974 Old's 98 4 dr, it was a battleship! Brad and I must have sanded for two weeks gettin everything ready. Layed color and about four coats of clear. I must say it was the best I ever did! Car lasted about two weeks and was taken from the IC train station. A week later found around 36th and Kedzie, ah at least the shell was! I got the feeling it was taken by someone who looked like Obama's son. Just a guess!
Despite a tail lamp out waiting on a replacement bulb, its 100% complete.
Overall i am very pleased with the turnout.
The only gap that's out of spec is the hood in relationship to the passenger side fender.
That area took a huge beating and required bending of the upper door and shimming of the fender.
It could be made to be perfect with a whole lot of work, but its just not worth it.
I never expected the car to be perfect again, and honestly I'm still afraid to drive it around....I just don't want to be let down.
