That's very good to know Rob. Looks like I'll be making a trip to Napa today. I do want that coating to be as durable as possible, so the hardener will be added. I have already sprayed the bottom side, and I really like working with Brian's paint. It made me smile too.
 If I trip over any other 50r's I'll be sure to let you know!

The hardener I have been using is matalpro urethane catalyst part number 6001C. I believe they also have a larger can of 6003C. As it contains isocyanides, it goes without saying that you need some extra levels of PPE.

Thanks John. I hope to have it looking like something more substantial in a few more days. Painting and watching it dry takes a lot of time.

Wayne, love the conversion of the garage into a spray booth with copious amounts of plastic drop sheets and construction tape!
Will likely have to do the same, otherwise my alternative plan is my Can Tire garage in a box outside when the weather is decent...

....slow...
A couple of update photos... I need to go away for work again this week, so next weekend I will paint over the primer on the outside of the body. The inside and underside of the body are completely painted, and a whole bunch of the miscellaneous things are painted now. Still have lots of odds and ends to paint after the main body parts are done.

Base coat
To keep up with the series of paint stages, here are a few more photos. This is the base coat (as mentioned previously, I wanted something high quality to seal everything in). When this dries, I will commence with the three color camo pattern. I will feel a bit guilty painting flat camo over this nice Dupont paint... oh well.
Oh, and of course before I walked away, I noticed that two very small flies committed suicide in the fresh paint!
