My 70 Dart
I decided to change colors. The blue I was going to use at first was to tough to spray for my skill level. So I went to my second choice for color. Well, it really was my first choice. Gold, gold was the color of my old '71 Swinger. Man, I loved that car. It was nothing spectacular, it was just COOL! So I did some practice spraying on the front valance that I had primed in yellow. That yellow is a good backing color for that gold paint. When I first looked at the valance, I was not happy with the way I applied it. It looked like splotching and stripes. I put it on the car to get an idea of just how bad it was. Well, it didn't look bad at all! So I clear-coated it and let it go. I'll have to wet-sand the clear coat and respray another coat, but it's good for now. I did pick up some artifacts/crap, but it will sand out. The base gold only had one small defect/junk in it. That stuff dried real fast. I just pour it in the gun and away I go. Thanks. And I am NOT upset by that other comment. I do agree with it! It is a lot of work.
