very nice work. Is it two stage or single stage. I have painted my motorcycles and just finished painting my 1951 m43and it turned out pretty good so next is my 951. What the hell If I screw it up It can always be redone.

From the photos that you've shown, to me, the paint looks fabulous. Excellent job, and I look forward to seeing more in the natural light too.

Yeah, there was a couple of bad stone chips in the windshield ever since I bought the car so a replacement is long overdue, it should look great though with the new paint!
