to paint or not to paint '68 Dart

71hemigtx said

Just looking for some feedback here about whether I should paint my car. I like it kind of rough, because it's like me, kind of rough around the edges. I drag raced it this year for the first time with the Classic Gearjammers of NC, and had the most fun I've ever had. Also, my 4 year old son enjoys working on the race car with me and I don't have to worry about the paint. But I have guys ask me at the races when I'm going to paint it. Your opinion would be appreciated.

I got the same thought and this is what i am doing. Ihave a 66 formula s cudda since high schooland iam 65 now. This is a 4 speed car. I put two coats of black epoxy primer, sanded it went to my local John Deere store and bought a gallon of blitz black paint it looks liike satin hot rod paint and only coast 35.00 a gallon. It dries very hard . They use it on their tractor frames in the 90 s. Put a scoop on the hood with the orginal body color racing strips and it look rugged. Just a thought,good day. tom
