Well, just sitting here trying to work up the courage to go out and shoot a coat of new colour over my 82 300SD. She's been sanded, stripped, primed, and resanded....just finished wiping her down with some mineral spirits.
First time ever doing this....hope it turns out nice. At the very least, she's gotta come out looking better than when he went in. There's still some nicks and stuff here and there, but for a first time job, I got rid of quite a bit of the damage left on the old coat, and took care of the rust spots on her.
Wish me luck, and feel free to impart any tips before I do my first spray job ever.
I'm hoping the job is good enough to last for another 25 years like the previous ones, but I'll be happy with 5 years.
