At 86, this may be my last major car project. Some time ago, I had my wife's '31 Roadster parked under a lift with an old Chrysler in the rack above. The Chrysler master cylinder leaked and dripped brake fluid through the cracks in the lift pans and left a spot on the hood and cowl of the Roadster where the paint was removed down to bare metal. I had originally planned to only refinish the hood and cowl but got carried away, deciding to paint the whole car which was in need of a fresh finish anyway.

I have a good start on the prep work but know it will take several months to get it ready to shoot paint. I'm using base & clear coat and plan to do the parts in a small portable booth and the body outside. While I have never painted a car before, I owned an architectural woodworking business years ago and have a good deal of experience spraying high end cabinetry.

Not looking for a show finish, just something nice.
