Looks good! I ended up using a table to paint the inside of my doors, just laid it out on top and spun it around. Then again, not concourse quality paintwork either G'luck

What kind of paint are you using?
I am trying to start putting stuff together so that I'll have my restoration under way early this summer right when I get home from college.
I'll be ordering the engine very soon, but still thinking about what route to go with paint.

Yours seems to be going well though!

Oh, I can give you one tip. Clean the inside of the doors REAL good, mine fisheyed badly when I painted them. Didn't have a problem anywhere but the insides of the doors.

i use a body shop grade wax and grease remover and i also add fisheye addative to my paint too

as for the paint i am using PPG's Omni line paint,,and Omni high solid clear coat

it is a fairly inexpensive paint,,but turns out very well

you could go cheaper yet,,there are some dupont paints that are alot cheaper but you can tell they are cheap by their results,,,i have been using Omni for years and i love it
