:yt: I'm happy with my paint job. Lots of elbow grease tho. :lol: Maybe the next project I'll try to spray it myself, then I can find out which way is easier. A guy I work with just had his 69 chebby truck painted professionally, turned out real good, but all he talks about was how much it cost and how p*ssed his wife was at him. :lol:

hey another member of the nova club cool, my first car was a 77 nova/concourse fully optioned with trim everywhere and an automatic it had a 305 with the 350 turbo hyd.

i have found the walmarts spray paint to work good. as long as it aint windy and you follow the same procedures for painting it with a gun.

the trick to a good can job is to move the whole body not the rist.

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~

i think the roll on method is flawed. for every reason possible. the best protection from rust is rust proofing. like por15 or eastwood products there are manly others out there to be for sure.
