cool! good luck...what color?

Just stock single stage blue with white top. Body work is going to be far from perfect, just need some color as it sits outside.

Looks great! I started painting again after about 25 and it comes back to you fast, plus these urethane paints are great to use. Good luck

I got it in primer today, using tp tools turbine system, its all I have. Most panels look good, smooth execpt the hood. About 20 minutes after the last coat it started looking like it got dirt in it. I used ppg 312 urathane surfacer and slow reducer mixed 4 to 1 to 1, waited 30 minutes between coats. Put on 3 coats. TP tools said to use reducer in the primer as the turbine heats the air. Used a 1.8 tip. This was shot over 5 year old primer that i 180 gritted. What went wrong ,solvent pop? moisture? Thanks.

Usually that urethane primer is a miracle worker. Is everything nice and dry? not water getting into to your gun is there? The 4-1-1 should be fine, with 3 coats can you smooth it out with some fine paper and paint?

Every thing was dry, the turbine heats the air, so no water or oil in the paint. I'm going to use 320 wet to see if it sands out, I have just enough primer left to do the hood and maybe the tailgate, I had it in the garage and forgot all about it, it didn't get a single coat.
