My baby poop isnt Ochre. Its gold. Mines a 68 anniversary edition that I am painting black. As I think Ive pointed out before I'm not too enamored with the gold and white paint scheme. I'm still looking for my digital camera to take a pic of the hood. It seems I'll be doing one panel at a time for the next few months then buffing it all at once. I picked up two gallons of ppg black lacquer for the project. since I cant really access a clean area to paint in the lacquer will do the trick much better than any enamel can given the circumstances.
I'm using a couple of 60's vintage Devillbiss JGA guns for the project that my grandfather used when he ran a body shop in Los Angeles. I rebuilt them a few years ago and they are certainly well up to the task. Ones a dedicated primer gun and the other I use for top coats. Ive painted a few cars under more controlled conditions but the lack of a decent sized shop precludes that. I have to make due with my somewhat dirty double garage so fast drying lacquer is where its at.
