Interest in a Driveway Strip&Paint?, Doing a driveway strip and paint Options

[skline]

I am going to strip all the existing paint off this car and repaint it in my driveway. I was wondering if any of you would be interested in a step by step thread as I go along? I will be using a chemical stripper to remove all the paint and then sand what it doesnt get. Any bondo in the car will be removed and I will take the dents out the way they should have been. Then I will shoot the car in an Epoxy primer and then block it and shoot it again and then a final block and paint a single stage bright yellow. Would you all be up for a progress thread? I figured I would post now and then create a new thread with the progress.

not to be a asshole, but how are you going to prevent leaves and fuzz and stuff from sticking to the car while it dries for a day and a half?

A friend of mine told me his neighbor once painted his car in the driveway. He got it all done and was admiring his work, then a dust devil blew through and leaves, paper, you name it was stuck all over it. I can just imagine what it looked like, and how many 4 letter words were shared with his neighbors!

I think you could get away with it on a very calm day. For sure it's going to have some dust nibs and stuff in it. Not a show car finish. You can make it look better with sanding and buffing. I would definitely not use enamel outdoors, use acrylic lacquer or polyurethane - something that flashes and isn't still sticky after a couple hours. Your neighbors will love you for painting outdoors. Overspray can drift for a long distance, plus everybody will know you're painting when they smell it.
