Paint job.

I tried to get a color as close to the original Ditzler color code 81515 that was available for the 1965 Dodge Dart and used on the Charger and GO GO Darts. On some forum I have found that Warsteiner GAT1616 would be close so that is what I asked for from the locar car paint dealer. I only have pictures to compare with but to me it looks close to the original color.





This is my first time trying to do a paint jog with spray gun. I'm happy with the spray result but I had an issue with dust and even one mosquito got stuck in the paint. My plan is to try and buff or wet sand and buff to improve the result. 





"Car" and panels where painted separately as space was limited. Everything prepared for next days spray session.


Covered the sofa while sparayng the panels. The garage is covered with thin yellow layer even though the tarpaulin arrangement worked decently.  


Need to make room for the car as this is where I store it during Winter. Tearing down the "paint booth".
