my 1979
my ongoing saga contuses, i am presently accumulating parts for a front end rebuild this winter and new springs to lower the front end 1"
i bought this car 2 years ago and hated the paint it was originally a silver/oyster and although i like silver its not my favorite. at some point someone painted it black.... and not a great job doing so. the door jams were still silver and the paint was falling off the fenders. also huge runs on the doors and ... you get the point, oh and it was pinstriped with baby blue and pink striped and the head lamp bezels were baby blue.... it was ugly but I had bigger fish to fry. My exhaust fell off on the tow ride home, the tires were... would not hold air the breaks were shot from start to finish. I looked up a lot of different paints and colors and found that if i wanted to do it right it would cost $3-4,000 which i don't have. I do have a good air compressor decent skills as a painter and thought ill try something different.

if it's ugly i can always paint it a different color
