Great thread! I've been following since week two. This shows the true spirit of hot rodding which is often lost in the high dollar restorations. This method could put my car back on the street months ahead of time. Thank you and keep the updates coming!

I will try this on my 69RR within the next month or so - after some minor rust repair and prep - and post my progress. My concern is being able to get close to the Q5 Seafoam Turquoise color. It will never be a points car so it doesn't have to be perfect, but the closer the better.

As far as I can tell, the Rustoleum in the US can't tinted, but if I drive up to Windsor, I should be able to pick up some Tremclad which can be matched to my paint sample. Am I right ? Any suggestions?
