[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16947760, member: 70025"] I don't regret painting my 65 one bit. Every time I go in the garage and see what I accomplished I'm very proud. As mentioned, it wasn't easy, mistakes were made but overall it came out GREAT in the end. Now, with that said, I am in NO hurry to get back into another build project. I enjoy doing little projects on my 57 Thunderbird, but to do a tear down or paint job is not something I want to do right now. Sand, sanding and more sanding is no fun. Body filler and shaping and sanding some more is no fun. That's the hard part that takes a lot of patience and manual labor but has to be done right. Now once all that's done spraying primer, color and clear is fun. Then once the spraying is done, guess what?, time for more sanding LMAO!!! (Man my arms and finger tips are sore just thinking about all that sanding I did :unsure: LOL and I did use a DA sander as well) So, as mentioned, I do not regret it and I would do it again, just not now LOL..... Lastly, don't listen to people who say don't do it. I say "just do it." Just understand the pros and cons before going in, practice on a body panel and decide for yourself if you want to proceed.....
