Second restoration!!!!"Picture update" Reply #45 – October 13, 2008, 10:20:27 AM Quote from: Bob;239233I got a question for you 347thunder, whats your process with getting results like that? What I mean is how would a handy guy like myself take on a paint project like your doing and pull it off with good results. I would love to paint my car myself, I wouldn't mind spending the money on quality tools etc.. where do you suggest I get started?It takes a lot of time and work you need special water separators for spraying, multiple paint guns, supplies and the cost of paint is very high. I probably have $1,500 to $2,000 in my paint job between sand paper,primers,sealers,color and clear it adds up quick but in the end totally worth it. I was going to have someone else paint it but, I would not of been able to say everything done to my car was done by me, the only thing I did not do was the alignment. I am happy the car is finally one color for the first time in 7 1/2 years. Quote Selected

I think I know someone that I can borrow some tools to do it. When I'm feeling brave I might paint my hood. If I like how it comes out I might keep going. Anyway back to your thread :) Quote Selected
