Anyway...I spray painted the top of the door trim black. If you cant tell in the pictures, its really shiny.

My hood and hatch.

More taken off of the front end. I`m going to paint the T-bar and the border of the engine bay.

what year is yours?

I think mine is about a 1970-1980. I really think its a 1978 but idk. The I.D. is worn off.

No, just a regular head cold. I haven't completly stopped doing stuff. I put new brakes on the red car and I wet sanded and respeayed the door trim. Clearcoat on trim today.

My dad picked up the rest of the stuff for the air compressor. So now we have filtered and regulated air to spray. He also bought a gallon of white paint for $8 to practice with. I sprayed a spare hood and it came out well. I just washed the hood with NO prep work so there are imperfections. I did it outside too. Its fun to spray with a gun, it sprays light so its hard to get runs and it gets excellent coverage. Oh, it took us a while to learn how to get the paint thinned right. We're probably doing it wrong still. Anyone know how viscous it should be? A bit thicker than water?

We have a big ventilation fan to put into our shop when its built.

Lordco has a sale on so I'm getting a gravity-fed spray gun for $62.99.

Looks like this.

The gun I have right now sputters air when its 1/2 empty. Or if you tilt it to the back too far it sputters air aswell so I want a gravity-fed one.

This is a visor that my dad bought for his Astro workvan. Its my first painting project, I think I'm painting it tomorrow when I get my new gun.

Pics after I cleaned the car.

This is a spare door that I forgot about. Its mint except for a small dent which is easier to fix than my other door. And this one is white not red like the other one.
