Hello, I'm repainting my '74 GTV back to its original color. The existing paint (done in the 80s) has a textured finish along the rockers and rear of the car. My guess is that the car was not originally painted this way and that it was a uniform gloss finish across all body panels. Can anyone...

Hey all! The rims on my car look pretty rough, the back two are yellowed out and the front two have paint chips coming off. I know I saw a thread on here about refinishing them and what paint to use. My main question is, what spray can brand/color is the best and what clear should I use? I know...

I want a quality paint that will match the original color as much as possible. I don't know the color code off hand but I will check ad update. I want to do it without clear coat as was original back then. Thanks!

Well, the time has come to sand, primer, and prep my Spider for paint. So far my transmission is pulled as I am rebuilding it, so it is a roller currently. I am planning on doing this outside (prep, not paint) as I do not have dust regulating stuff in my shop. So I need a few tips here...

Hello everyone, I've been working with a very tight budget on my 1981 GTV6 for the past year. When I got it, it was a well maintained car that had been parked in a garage for nearly 14 years due to a burnt out clutch. I have done all the work myself and am proud to say it is in it's final...
