Car painted?

Man, you guys are scaring me with these prices! I've gotta do a full-blown p/j on my Willys CJ5 one of these days, I'll be having it blasted to bare metal and done up right. I sure as hell wasn't thinking about $5000! Been a helluva long time since I painted anything though, just Harleys back in the early 80's.

I learned back in 1975 I could not afford to pay someone to do it right. I had a friend that owned a body shop. I spent many hours just helping out for free to learn how to do it right and by myself.

I may be slow but it looks good and will last.

Back in my yoot, we'd just roll our shit outside and spray it in the driveway. And used motor oil was dumped along the fence to kill weeds. I think I'd go to jail for this now, and I've heard you can't even buy acrylic lacquer paints nowadays? Izzat right?

My neighbor is a young Czech dude and does car painting, so he's my ace in the hole for painting the Heep. I've got a rotisserie to put the tub on so we can do the bodywork in my garage and get it ready, and he's got access to a booth. I'll have the tub and all the sheetmetal parts soda blasted at Blast Tech first.
