    As promised, Here are the pics of the new paint job, along with a couple of before pics to compare with. I'm not finished with it yet, plan on going back with a couple of more coats and then black out the tail panel and Grabber stripe on the hood before I clear coat it. Hope to have all the paint on before cold weather sets in. img_0732_original.jpg img_0733_original.jpg [​IMG] img_0731_original.jpg img_0578_original.jpg [​IMG]

    Me too :), Looks really nice :thumbs2:, lots of work to paint a car if you are not a pro and even if you are a pro. I can spray them I just cant do the body or prep work and make it look good.

    Thanks, ya'll. I'm not happy with it yet, the pics look better than the car does. A new spray gun and a few more coats should do it :yup:
