Well I finally got pics of my new paint job!!
I spent about the last month prepping and painting and rubbing out the car. I turned out great. (Watch out dial up!)
car being preped primed sanded, primed, sanded, you get the point. (excuse my server at times it can be slow as hell)
the "garage spray booth"
primed and prepped
Me and the color coat
after the wetsanding and buffing
the next three are the finished product

The picture actually doesn't show all of the imperfections in the paint very well. It wasn't all that bad to begin with, however, under the body side moldings there was some surface rust developing, so I figured if I was going to have to prep to paint the doors why not just do the whole car.

Nice job! Did you setup a fan in the window or anything to pump air out?

Does that have metal flake in it?
When I first had my car painted a buddy of mine put a box fan in the window. He didn't have an HVLP gun though and there was a lot of "paint" in the air.
Good looking car. Makes me REALLY want to get started on mine!

very nice man! one question, when you remove all the masked off areas, do you have to worry about the tape pulling off parts of the paint?
