Default Re: Paint advice

My 190A was painted using DuPont's Nason single stage urethane. Urethane over an epoxy primer is perhaps the most durable paint on the planet.


Once cured, the urethane has a wet look shine and very little orange peel, so it does not need color sanding.

I think Ford's colors are not something I would spend thousands of dollars for, so I did it my way. Please don't criticize my color choices.


Tips:
> Forget about using a clear coat because it scratches easily and complicates touch-ups;
> Paint the lower body color first, so that all upper body color seams point downward;
> Test fit all of the body panels to assure there is no need to do fitting after the paint is applied. This is especially true of the fenders and running board aprons.
