Thanks for the compliments.

It's a 1960. I was tempted to do the satin, and I still might, but I saw someone with the same paint job up north so I went with Regular Rustoleum Gloss Black. I'm sealing the top with White Gloss, but will probably do final coat with that Tremclad Cream , I like the aged look. I need a light colored top with Fla heat and black car.

I did one coat each day over Memorial Day weekend at about 10am, outside on blacktop pavement. I think I got better results doing one coat a day and letting it really bake in. Two coats was rushing, even with the heat.

I chose to do three coats before wetsanding due to the condition of the metal on the car. It's a little more wetsanding, but I like having a thicker base before tearing into it. Plan 3-5 more coats before final polish.

Maybe previously posted, but have you guys all seen the Hot Rod Magazine article on this?
