Managed to get a coat of paint on the scuttle and on DS Door last night on Bugsy. And walked out again a few minutes ago to apply a second coat, garage door open, sunny, 65 degrees, birds chirping I can feel progress being made. Paint BTW is not the expensive spray job but the good old Rustoleum thinned 50% about as close as I can get to BRG Paint Job. First coat rolled on smooth and second coat was applied and got even better. No not as nice as epoxy or urethane jobs but Bugsy was never intended to win concours awards just to be fun to drive.
That $8.49 can of Rustoleum Gloss Hunter Green will be more than enough to do the entire car, a few foam rollers and a new quart of mineral spirits, all told I'll have $35-$40 into finishing this paint job. Believe it or not the car looks really great when I'm done. A little technique to be mastered and you need to build the paint up in layers, at least 4-5, but application only takes a few minutes and it can be done in sections. Foam roller goes into a ziplock bag until I'm ready to do another coat so cleanup is minimal. When I'm done wet sand with 600 will take out all of the little imperfections I've created. Touch up is really simple.
The smell of mineral spirits and paint drying is just a nice pleasant reminder that there is an end in sight and driving will happen soon.Time to wash down the back half of the car and get that into paint as well.
