How did you paint it? Rattlecan? Roll-on? Pro sprayer at a shop?It looks pretty good My '79 was the blue color, until someone rattlecanned it primer gray.
I have a 3-car garage, so I just masked the walls with plastic drop clothes and painted it in there. I used a single-stage air compressor with a spray gun. The paint wasn't even really "automotive" paint. I chose a heavy duty oil-based Rustoleum specialy designed for rusty metal. I thinned it with about 20% Mineral Spirits, and it all came out pretty nice. The paint dried to the touch in about 5-6 hours, and I let it cure for about 4 days in the garage with a de-humidifier running. This process all worked very well, for anyone interested in painting there old Toy!!
Ive been thinking of doing the same thing. How much did the paint run you and how much paint did you use? Also what kind of gun at what psi?? Looks good.
