As much as I like the red/ black look, I decided this past week to go back to the black. This time I'm using a mixture of 1 part Penetrol, two parts paint and about a half part mineral spirits. I'm getting really good results. These pictures are after three coats. I still have three more to go. I can't wait to wet sand and buff this thing.







Sorry about the phone camera quality, but you get the idea. I love this Penetrol stuff. It flattens the paint out really nicely. More pics after I finish up this weekend.

This paint job just gets better every time I do it. I've already got friends asking me to paint their cars. (The same friends who laughed at first when I told them about the roller part.)
