It looks like you are doing a great job!

It has been pretty tough. Yesterday, I sanded the car where the trim used to go, re-primed that, sanded the entire car with both 400 and 800 grit sand paper, redit the masking paper, painted hte car, and helped my dad pull a trailer out of Revlon up the road here. Even my fingers are sore this morning!!!

I'm going to go out there in a few minutes, un mask it, and put the lights back in it.

I want to see pics!

And barn paint jobs are perfectly do-able. I painted most of my grand prix in our machine shed with pretty much a dust floor and it came out decent lol.

I'm working on the re-assembly. A little dust got in it, but that is to be expected. I need to put another red pinstripe on it. I also replaced all the light bulbs since the assemblies were already out. New SilverStar Ultra healidghts, low and high beam!!!

I also sanded down, compounded and buffed the headlights... then clear coated them. I think that made the front end look amazingly better.

Here are the demanded portraits.

How long do you have to wait to buff `it ?
Are you happy with it ? I wish I had your talents 4-Sure...
Thanks again for taking your time to share & post pictures of your work
