Good luck. Sounds like you're doing it yourself. IS this a first or have you done this before?

I plan to have 68 painted very soon. I'm have striped the car myself.:boxing Not a fun job at all;took alot of time. Now it is time for prep. I am shure I will love doing that as much as I loved the striping.
Good Luck!:D
