Now that's a paint job! Did you use the regular rustoleum in quart cans or the premium one? And did you use a clear?


Whats awesome is when I get to paint my highboy or 59 F100, my girlfriends dad said I can use one of his down draft spray booths

I used the Professional version in quarts from Lowe's. No clear coat. I thought about it, but I was after a vintage sort of look. That is, I wanted it to look like a 1977 paint job. My plan is wax it every 6 months and wash as needed - nothing special.
