Looks great. Any issues painting in your garage? I'd like to paint my own but people are telling me not to because of dust and lint getting onto the paint.

^^ also the overspray of color that would be on everything I would think.
Hell when I use rattle can in my garage it gets everywhere.

But back to the topic at hand, looks like you did a nice job especially considering it is your first attempt at it.

Hey guys,ryoungbronco don't listen to the naysayers,you can do it,now with that being said,you will have a lot of pre-paint tasks like just make sure if you don't want paint on something cover it,next wet down the floor so the dust doesn't get thrown up on the panels,also I had 3 box fans pushing the overspray and any crap out of the garage,so in short,you can do it,just take you're time and prepare for a mess LOL.blamejane the color is Limestone Green Metallic,it's a Sherwin Williams color which mimics the 72-74 Ford poly limestone Green,I would just like to say,the paint went on without a hitch but the clearcoat is a whole nuther animal,very unforgiving,must match you're speed and distance from the panel to the conditions and equipment you are using,I suggest practicing with a junk panel first to get aquainted with you're clear,it is tricky,
