So your paint booth is the great outdoors?  Appears pretty effective!

Absolutely is, I've turned into quite the meteorologist to watch for the perfect conditions  :looney:

Got some nice weather today so painted the front and rear valance, as well as did some crappy factory blackout.

Looking good!  :bigthumb:


I wonder, now that your neighbor has his shingles fixed up, if he'll notice his bricks are slowly turning green.......lol

Went ahead and started the blackout on the tail panel today with organosol. From 8774paint1

So after having morning coffee while taping up the taillight housings then painting them up. I just had to go and mock them up onto the car. Damn I'm pretty happy how they turned out.

Went ahead and followed what he did with his lenses, scuffed and cleared them today. I'm beyond impressed!

Are your plans to put the 1973 grey plastic bumper filler pieces back in place, or a 70-71 style bumper ? The reason I ask is because with the older style bumper, you may want to continue the black a little further down so there's no green showing between the bumper and the tail panel  :alan2cents:
