I wanna see some flat black dusters or rat rod dusters

I have a compressor, and HVLP guns. I also have a gallon of Transtar 2k featherfill. I have never painted a complete car, but noone was ever born knowing anything. I'll do it, and be proud of it. Some unexpected life changes have derailed the ammount of time I can dedicate to the car. In reality, the suggestion to paint the horizontal areas might be what I do. Or I might just paint those areas in red-oxide primer until I have time to strip it down and do it right. I honestly don't mind the way the car looks as much as I want to protect the California steel from the New England moisture.

BTW, that pic was the good side. Other side is not so pretty.
