1958 Dodge
My 1964 Nova SS, I stripped this to the bare metal, spray guns, expensive primer and paint, the whole nine yards.
I recall priming and wet sanding multiple times, got it darn near perfect.
Replaced the front fenders, the rest of the car was original rust free, had it's share of dings, but original black interior with a 6 banger.
Even with the 'proper' tools, the use of a giant 2 car garage, and all the time and $ (at the time) it was a huge task.
It was exhausting, luckily a friend stepped in and sprayed the color in his clean garage, as the one I was using was a complete mess, and as stated I was running out of energy.
I went with the original color, which some loved and some hated, and although I was unsure initially, it was by far the best color.
I even bought the correct silver paint for the tail section, but never sprayed it on.
