Thanks! Painting enhances my anxiety haha. I just don't enjoy it. Love the cutting/welding, putty work is bearable, but painting sucks. The paint is so expensive, and spraying is dependent on so many factors....one of which is my own lack of experience because I only paint cars, or exterior panels of cars, once in like every 10 years. I also broke the cardinal rule...painting the in the winter. But if it wasn't for my experimenting with my gun settings, I really believe it would have gone flawlessly. Got the car back together this past weekend and took it out for a drive. Unfortunately, when putting the wheels back on, I saw that one of my axle boots is ripped. So won't be driving it much until I address that. Still need to paint the c-pillars and rear louvers and get back on refinishing my spare set of wheels. The passenger door in this photo is original paint. The front half of the fender is in base coat but the full fender cleared. I'm very happy in how the paint matched, especially using PPG shopline base which isn't known for matching original paint well.
