I applied the Chicle Drab last night. It went well, aside from two little dust specs in the clear coat and a drip that will sand out. The Chicle and Copra shades are right on in my opinion.
One observation for anybody attempting this. There was a dense fog of paint and clear coat in the garage while I was painting. I have a very good 3M respirator mask that spared me from inhaling any bad stuff. As my instructor says, the material doesn't care if it's on a surface or in your lungs, it's going to harden either way.

It looks nice, and I like the cement pad, pole barn, and wide open spaces shown.
I need all three of those, so I can make some progress on my cars.

That really looks nice, someday down the road I hope my '29 Steelback looks the same. Bob

Looks great good job but those dandelions need to be sprayed also...

Looks great! I'll be painting my coupe those colors when I eventually get to that stage... Stuff like this inspires me to keep going!

I use Nason base with a higher quality clear coat off the parts store shelf.

Greg---So far it looks great.....before long you will have it done. I just love driving my Town Sedan, it is just so comfortable, drives nicely, and always looks great. You will surely enjoy getting yours on the road. Here is a better photo of mine, showing the colors a little better.
