A few weeks ago, I posted a thread that basically said, “oh no what have I done?”. I had about six flaws in my hood, so I decided to fix the flaws, sand it down prime it and repaint it. I had some paint left over from where I painted my car. I finally got it done. It came out pretty good.

I am helping a friend with his 56 Studebaker Power Hawk. The entire car will be red, and the roof will be white as per...

I am helping a friend install those aftermarket twin hood scoops on his 71 dart. I have done a lot of painting, but I have never painted anything like these plastic hood scoops. I am going to paint them and the entire hood with semi gloss black urethane. I was wondering if anyone here had...

I was watching some body and paint videos on YouTube today, and I clicked on one from Paint Society called "Best Cheap Paint Gun". The guy who does the Paint Society videos is very talented and is a very good instructor. Anyway, It is called the Iwata Air Gunsa. I watched him use it, and it...
