I took the afternoon off yesterday and painted the car. It turned out well, the color is Saturn Yellow, L13M. I made one major screw-up, let's see if you can find it. This car is slated for a 327-300 SBC conversion. Every time I paint I learn something. I am living proof that anyone can paint a car, 90% prep, 5% paint and 5% luck! Since I live in Michigan, any part that is covered, gets a coat or two of Por-15, that's why the door sills and firewall are not painted. The car was white!
