1984 Chevy El Camino (Build Up and Progress)

Very happy with this go round... It laid on nice in most areas with the expected runs being that it is cold out and I used spray can... it looks real wet and will be nice once I wetsand and buff it by hand... not gonna spend a ton of time on it and that will be done in a few weeks to make sure the paint is dry... then will wait a few months and do it one more time, once I know the paint has cured and shrunk as much as it will by then...

Thanks Bro! Warren is the man with it though, its alot more work and patience to get it right... Felt like paying/bribing him to do all the prep work and spraying it with real paint... gotta work on that for the rest of the car, i may be painting it myself

I'm thinking about doing the same thing with my father in law, he is a painter for Boeing (C-17's) so I'm trying to bribe him into painting mine he wants a cutlass so I'm trying to find one for cheap as a gift and to trade him, and then rent a booth.

But You should! its tough to find someone that would put the same amount of attention to detail into it as you and Warren would. Plus you dont want any overspray on that 305 and engine bay you just worked so hard on, would you?

I was spraying with my bike next to the car uncovered...

but I have access to a paint booth, and will be painting it and prepping it myself, when i am ready for that...
