How ya gonna haul the 64? I got a car trailer if needed.
Thanks for the offer, but the '64 is only coming with us if I can DRIVE it! Dream truck would be a '40 Ford- prettiest truck ever made. I had one once- had to sell it- sad story, Someday, over a beer....

Get a gun, and explore the tech a little bit.

Paint shooting isn't as hard to learn as you think, and a rig does a lot better things than a spray can.

Feathering, fan, and even drying by half-throttle air spray are options.

You don't have runs when you learn what you can do with it!

Volume is the amount of paint in the airflow, FAN is how wide or narrow the spray is.

Half throttle refers to the trigger half down, so only air is coming out, the farther you press after that, the more paint is drawn up. You can vary the amount...

Paint guns are the BOMB! And a touch up gun is only twenty bucks at most part stores. (One pint capacity, half of it is basemaker or reducer)

You will never look at paint the same once you own one.

(?) Sounds more like an allergic reaction to masking tape...

I know, I know, I hear what you're saying. If you know someone really good - get the results, not the touch-up paint.

Heck, my '64 is on the ground- someone stole the wheels! (J/K LOL) Good to see you're making progress, there, Wiz. The tough part is keeping at it - trust me, I know!
