Yea I have a litte experience not loads of cars done but ive done a few, this is the first car I painted, my 66 mustang, with some guidance from a friend who paints as a hobby


Second was this


third was a datsun 280zx which i dont have pix of..... and then there was random things here and there



Update: Clear is on the bumper and hood, and the small pieces yay time for more sanding and then more clear... oh man i think the fumes are going to my head
