White is right!
Lately white has been looking real good to me for some reason.

Depending on your taste I think white would look nice on the 83. The nice thing about white is it goes with any other colour of interior and with a few colour accents/stripes can look deadly.

Speaking of hail....just returned home from my holiday in Alberta early because Dauphin just got HAMMERED with baseball size hail. Car and truck are hit, trailer has windows smashed and roof is finished, 2 windows smashed in house, water in basement.........

It's crazy, you can't drive around here without seeing car windows smashed.

I bet you can bet a good deal at the local Ford dealership right now! I drove by it yesterday coming home and every car and truck on the lot is pelted.

Hello insurance!

kamsack got a hit too...a couple of guys are saying 80-100% crop write off...

Fom, i'm leaning towards the white, it also seems to be cheaper to get done. word of mouth quote of about 2500.00 to get 'er done...

White is one of the cheapest paint colours to buy and covers minor body work problems the best.
There`s an old joke about painting a vehicle white and waiting for a snowfall!

A good way to learn is to screw up.
Right or am I doing it all wrong?

nope, i think thats the theory. seems that spraying many lights gets awesome coverage and no runs. patience is the key.

Surface preparation along with patience is the key.
It used to amaze me how really long proper prep can take, lots of times when helping I would think the vehicle was ready when really it wasn`t even close....
