Want to paint another for more practice? :wink1: Ive got an 85 4Runner that could use a home paint job.

Hey man, I was impressed enough to TTT your thread. It takes balls to paint a whole car and you should be proud of how that turned out. Very nice.

[Sean88gt]

Looks damn good.

"If it aint right, PAINT IT WHITE!" looks good man! I love to see people do/complete their own projects

[Baba Ganoush]

Much appreciated guys

Looking back, I forgot how much work was involved. I don't think I'll be quite as intimidated the next time.

Too many windows? I dont need the top painted. So, only 2 windows. Easy work! Actually, thinking of selling it right now.

Good work my man. I painted my 66' in the Garage. I wish mine had turned out like yours. I SUCK at clearcoat. Most of mine came out "Frosty" because I didn't want it too "wet" and have runs.

Took about 20 hours of sanding/buffing to get it where it's at now. Good work.

That looks great. The white was a really good choice. I have an old wagon that needs a quick respray, lol.

Damn! I missed out on more beer money! I should've checked this thread earlier.

Thanks! I just finished building a '66. It took about a year and boy it was an experience.

I had some practice with clear coat. Well, on small parts to get the gist of it. It's definitely a skill to lay it down error free the first time. I had bad runs on one panel that I spent hours smoothing out, but other than that I got lucky.

Thank you sir.

Oh man its messy work. That is the biggest problem. I will be fresh out of projects here shortly though. I'm feeling the itch to find another one already.
