"Over the last 6 months or so I have been busy painting the cobra. I set up my shed as a paint shop complete with a $15 fan in the door and $1.50 plastic drop sheets. This worked amazingly well as the static from the dust sheets also attracted any paint and dust.
I have never painted a car before so it was a fairly long process nights and weekends making sure I got all things right. I would estimate 100 hrs body prep, 4 coats base coat and 6 coats clear. All painted with a $49 Super Cheap spray gun.
The pictures tell the story.
Glasurit Dodge Viper Blue with silver stripes.
Thanks for everyone's advice and help on here over the period of this build.
