I got a budget body and paint job this week it should look good from a few feet away. It should get wet sanded and buffed today and I can bring it home. At least it's all the same color red, I can't wait to start putting it back together and start enjoying it!

Yes, Craigslist add for a guy who's starting out on his own. We'll see how it turns out after its sanded and buffed. It was cheap enough that I won't feel too bad with some flaws.

Pretty! Wet sanding and buffing do a LOT to a cheap paint job.
It is a lot of orange peal, and that will take quite a lot of time to get out or minimize. But its a new painter so give him some slack.
Is he wet sanding with a DA or by hand?

DA, yes I'm giving him some slack seems like a nice kid who wants to do a good job. Worst case scenario I live with it for a few years and then go deeper into restoring the car when I can afford to spend more.

Who's your guy starting out on his own? Does body work too? Serious body work?

I had only small door dings that needed fixing I don't think he is experienced enough to tackle serious body work.

Looks good for a budget job. What color red did you go with? Anything fancy?

No I had the Bahia red color code matched at the local auto paint store and then a good quality clear on top.

Enamel with hardener and clear PPG paint I think single stage.
