Preparation, preparation,preparation. Ain't nothin' you can do that is more important than getting it ready and clean. Even if this is your second attempt at painting(your first and your last)with a little patience and some attention to the lil' stuff, you can have a paint job you'll be proud of that will last for a long time. Stay with the basic single color paints, and if anything should(it will)happen down the road, you can pretty well match it up to make minor repairs. With the warmer weather coming along, it's a good time to get this project done in about every garage across the country. I'm about ready to squirt my 64' before long and I'll send some pix of how it turns out. All I need to do is quit taking it out and playing now that the weather is turning nice. Guess if I''d get the wheels off it and up on stands with some tape and paper in place, it would be easier to keep it in the garage long enough to get it finished. Good luck with yours.
