New paint

Check out my gallery. I broke out the paint gun yesterday. There are a couple pics of the new paint.

Looks good. Glad to know I'm not the only guy with a Chevy powered Ford from Oklahoma here.

I shot it in my paint booth-garage. I used a single stage urethane. I wish that I would have spent more money on the paint, base coat clear coat.

If you use a decent HVLP gun, the CCBC is a much easier system to get good results with and can be cheaper in the long run. At least with the Urathane you can always CC it for extra gloss.

I took Henry Ford for a drive around the block for the first time in 2 1/2 years. It was nice, I would have drove further but it started to rain.
