Looks good. Did you set up any kind of paint booth to keep bugs,dust,etc off of the paint?

Check out my Dads Garage. He took 2 gas station doors and put them together.
You might have 2 listen to some music before the garage seen

I Shot it with 35 dollar ebay gun. It looks better in the video than it is. It needs to be polished.

i cut rustoluem 60/40 with acetone and then shoot it with a $15 harbor freight gun.
3-4 coats, then wet sand with 2000 grit and polish.
next one i do is going to get overlaid with clear coat.

Cool. Rustoleum told me to max out at 15 percent acetone but I was having trouble getting a gloss.Last coat I put more and it seemed to help with the gloss. After you
sand and buff out the paint what do you do to prep for clear?

well, i have not used clear yet. but i saw a few weeks ago where rustoleum is coming out with or already came out with their own clear coat, so i am going to try it on the next one i do. i get 3-4 years out of the trailers and machines before it starts to fade and chalk. i have never done a complete car or truck yet, just the frames.
my 88 is going to be the test rig for a complete rustoleum paint job.

I saw that. Sound like a Landscaper. I am 1 hedge trimmer hand cut, 2 lyme
disease. My last was a heat stroke the preveous season. Take it easy dude.
Dont work to Hard. Watch sanding that rustoleum stuff. I wear a dust/resperator or run water constantly over it when wet sanding.
