painted 79 this weekend
finally painted car this weekend. had tons of problems with the dupont primer, had lots of cracking issues. finally sanded them out and coated with spi epoxy. used morton basecoat and the spi universal clear from spi. the products and support from spi was fantastic, can't say enough about them.

Your car looks great!! I can appreciate all the work going into that.
Just painted my '76 3 weeks ago. We're in the middle of buffing and putting it back together. Still got about another 2 wks to go.
