1966 Barracuda New Paint - Part 2 of 2

The dastardly deed is done. Painting is complete. Well, almost. The trunk lid still needs a lot of work. The rest of the car is painted though. It wasn't without problems. The main problem is that I'm not a good painter. I do it so rarely that I don't know what setting to use if I run into issues, like I did... I attribute it to my using a brand spankin' new Harbor Freight $12 HVLP paint gun and my lack of knowledge. It is what it is... There is massive orange peel and several runs in the paint. And flies. Lots of flies. If there were a million flies outside, there were at least half a million flies inside the closed garage. They must live in there.

Anyway, after doing the underside of the hood and door jambs outside, I installed the doors, then drove the car back into the garage to paint, you know, to get away from the flies....

The paint probably would have turned out better if I'd done the job outside in the daylight so I could see better.

The paper and tape are coming off.

This next photo shows the difference in color between the old faded yellow on the inner fender and new Chrysler "RR-1" Yellow (original color) everywhere else.
