On a side note about light, get as much as possible like Phil said above. I painted my '37 a dark green metallic, the paint store told me, I had one hour to decide if I wanted to clear coat or wait, if I waited, I would have to apply one more coat of green then the final coats of clear, but it would have to be a few days later for the first coats of green to cure. This was base coat / clear coat paint with a slow cure clear that flowed out for a no buff finish. It's also a hard brittle clear that doesn't sand well.
The first coats looked good, so I went ahead and applied the clear. It looks really good, flowed out smooth and really shined. The next morning I rolled it out into the sun to get a good look at it. Right off I could see it looked like a green striped zebra, I could see every swipe of the gun I made. The spray pattern was to tight, so the metallic was concentrated in the center of each spray. If I had better lights, I could have adjusted the gun for a wider spray pattern. I ended up doing a lot of sanding, then had to buy a lot more paint and do the whole thing over.
Buy more lights!
