Very nice sir. Reminds me why all those cadets drove vettes in the 70s and 80s.

I can't wait for the clear and stripper fleas!
It will have to have special windshield wipers fitted to wipe off all the panties being tossed at it.

I knew I should not have come in here! Was hoping to get it down to you this summer but that is not going to happen. Gotten kicked in the balls financially a couple times this year and not been able to get my two rust issues fixed yet.
How are you liking the booth?

The booth is amazing. It could use a larger pressure exhaust blower though.
I have projects lined up now!

Kidding aside, the Vette looks awesome and you can take pride knowing that you did it yourself.

Looks good.
Awesome portable spray both. Is humidity ever a problem inside?

Looks great!
I like how the painter is wearing flip-flops!
A true master in his field of work, no doubt!

Good work Cockatoo!

Looks like it turned out nice, that booth looks big enough for a school bus!
Question on the application of paint to a surface, noticed when you did the Left (Drivers) hood you went fore and aft, then continued on with a fore/aft stroke when doing the area around the headlight door.
On the right (passenger) side, the headlight door was painted perpendicular to the hood technique of fore/aft method, being done across the door to the center.
Does it matter changing the application of paint from one direction to another on the same surface vs continuing on in the same direction.
Again consider I have the Sgt Shultz degree in paint, I know nothing!
