Yeah,I'm exhausted.My companies busy season is now in full swing,so I'm not getting home until late.I really really wish I had more time,this is a rushed, quick and dirty paint job.In keeping with the budget theme,I'm shooting it with a Harbor Freight $15 paint gun,yes you heard right $15,was going to break out my good gun that I bought to spray my Camaro,but no it is budget crap to the very end.I will spray the thing tonight,and post some pics then.Car is blown completely back apart,I'm not going to get any test miles on the car before Geogia,so if something falls off I don't want to hear any laughing!!

With all the metal work on this car and the 2 weeks from metal work to paint with only my two hands to scratch on it,it turned out amazingly well.$15 gun worked flawlessly,due to rushed nature of the bodywork,I'm sure it will sink to some degree,but I'm happy with it.Still alot to do,have to throw out a special thanks to my buddy Kemp,showed up last night and really helped me out.

I've used Spraymask before,but it was harder then ususal to get off the brakes.

The more I break up the blue the more I like it.I hope the paint doesn't sink too bad,because I really don't feel like buffing it and I like it how it is {I guess time will tell}
