Can't leave well enough alone.
The poor quality of my ancient camera does not do this justice.
I decided to repaint my car yet again - something about driving a black car in the middle of the hot Phoenix summer sun that drove me to select another color. In homage to my old Grand Am, here I present you the new and improved Old Car -      That last one is just showing off my Cragar 342 NASCAR-style wheels.

Re: Can't leave well enough alone.
Looks great! Is that a Wilson antenna in the trunk?

If you do want to paint it yourself, you need to: * Have a great NIOSH safety mask. Paint fumes are nasty and create all sorts of physical havoc. * Latex gloves, like what doctors use, to keep the paint off your hand while you mix it. Believe me, it will wind up on your hand. * Have an enclosed area (for dust reasons) that is well-ventilated, or use tarps but make sure it's ventilated. * Dampen the floor with plain water before you start painting. This will minimize dust being kicked up into the air (and onto your new paint). * Be prepared with your paint. Reducer, paint and catalyst (hardener) all ready to go, with adequate amounts of pre-measured paint mixing cups (the quart ones are about 2/$1). Plenty of stirring sticks and strainers on hand. Mix only enough paint to fill the reservoir on the gun you're going to use. * A good gun. This doesn't necessarily include the gun I used. Get a real HVLP gun, the gravity-fed kind. A little more expensive, but trust me - it's worth it. * A good compressor. Definitely not what I used.
