Good jorb!
What color and paint did you use? Where did you get the nice spray booth? did you take it down to bare metal?

I used the dimension series from sherwin williams. I like it about the same as PPG stuff. It's a whole lot better than BASF. The color is actually the factory blue/green metallic. A good portion of the car was taken down to bare metal because i think the final dent count was at 27... varying from BB size all the way to a caved in driver side door.
This was intended to be a budget job because I had to finish everything this week. I have less than a week off of school for thanksgiving. Now I just have to cut and buff it and it should be done.
Oh yeah, I didn't actually paint this in a booth. It was just a friends small shop. Barely any dust and it has lots of light.

Looks really good, now for some daylight pictures.
So may I ask what you spent on the paint, and clear?

ummm, I think it less than $500 for paint (1 Gal.), clear (1 Gal.), reducer, hardener, tape, paper, and all misc. supplies.
