For the 2 and 1/2 friends I have here on the general board, who don't go anywhere else...

I did a thing. (Usually when I say "I did" it, it means I physically learned the skills and did it, and that's how this is too).

I have a lot more detail than that of course but here is the fun part.

Haven't painted it in 31 years, and it needed it (and it needed much more which I also did).

Have a few more pics but....this format....you know what I mean......

Been about 30 yrs since I last painted a car too.
Looks like yours turned out great.

Looks nice!

DUDE!!

A nod to the Silver Bullet?

Lookin’ Good 👍

You did a great job, and it looks really nice. I'm learning to do my own also. I have a few to practice on before jumping on my old cars.

so far looks fantastic!!! I have never painted a car, it is on my list of things to learn.

Paint looks AWESOME ! ...... See you didn't remove headlamp 'buckets' ? ? ?

Thanks all. 3 year effort with plenty of sheetmetal replacement and repair.

I'm definitely a different person now than when I started it.
Developed a love for metalwork and restoration work that I never thought I would have.




Thx

Not looking for SB comparisons with the wrong model year..., Just went back to original color is all.

I've been casually following along recently over on Unlawful's page. As all have said, it's beautiful. I can't imagine the time it took learning to paint and to prepare that.
I'm sure you're proud of how it came out, as you should be.

Gotcha! I knew the SB was a different year, was thinking more along the lines of terrorizing the streets of Detroit..... . Gonna take some adjusting after seeing it black all these years.

Looks beautiful, well done Sir!

Looks good, nice choice of color

Painting Silver is so much fun. Looks good. You did a better job than I on your first paint job.

Was it single stage, or base coat clear coat?

Thanks all, the color is 1969 Chrysler A4, PPG #2016, the original color.





It's Base/Clear. No single stage metallics for me, not ever....tried that once on a repair/never again.

Sorry if my post was misleading. The GTX is both my first and third complete paint job.
Everything else is a smaller repair or a smaller part (engine, axle, etc).

First/Second/Third below.

You can paint my car anytime.👍🤓
Great job.

Looks great!

Looks like glass Two skills I wish I had; painting and welding.

I really love your Polara.

Nice color. Looks good
