Re: Learning curve. My 72 Firebird adventure.

A couple photos of the subframe after painting. Of course since the paint got sprayed I realized I should have done a couple more things to it but I will have to make them bolt ons instead of welding them.

I went with the gray color as my experiences around race cars is that lighter colors in the engine bay make it easier to spot leaks and cracks.

No it's Macco single stage paint. I had a friend who owned a Macco down the road and he would do little things like this for me, as fill in work for his painters. Unfortunately he retired and sold the shop last year.
