sunburst orange pearl/ black two tone. (just a link)

hay guys. i have been on the forum on and off asking qustions about paint and body work for about a year now. I have got a lot of great info and now i can share the results with all of you. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2918464
I cant figure out how to get pictures directly on to the thread but i do have a link to my updated cardomain.com web page.
hope you all like!!
all comments will be considered, but keep in mind this was my first paint job and it was done in my parents garage with minimal tools, help, money and experience lol!!
enjoy

Re: sunburst orange pearl/ black two tone. (just a link)

the gun i used was actually just a home depot special, the husky HVLP gun. the compressor was my parents and i dont know any of the specs on that.

as far as wet sanding goes, i cant wait to get that done and see the real shine. but i am not a big fan of the blisters. I know many will disagree but i like the louvers!!

Re: sunburst orange pearl/ black two tone. (just a link)

haah, I have that same huskey gun, does it have a green tip? if so its a great gun, I used to use it for small things until I upgraded to my Sata.
by the way, car looks really good, great job. only thing I would have done differently is leave the handles black.

Re: sunburst orange pearl/ black two tone. (just a link)

i agree new wheels would be great. i have been keeping an eye out on local craigs list for a while now.
I did use the green tip gun and i cant complain, $80
Also i did think about going with black hadles but i just couldnt picture it looking very good. I am sure it looks great on some cars, just not mine.
