Re: Its official My 68 Build "Midnight"
It came out really nice. Yes i brushed it on which is time consumin. It could be better in areas where it has some runs but it still looks great. I couldn't believe that brushing it on could dry and look so smooth.

Re: Its official My 68 Build "Midnight"

Re: Its official My 68 Build "Midnight"
I used the 2 brushes that came in the kit and they lost a lot of brissles. I bout a couple of cheap 2 in brushes at home depot that worked much better. Actually all I used was a quart, It seemed to just keep going and going. I had bought 2 quarts to do it but I still have the rear end and spindles to do. The parts that have been painted were sandblasted the rest will be wire wheeled or sanded.
