68 wearing some new paint
Here is my first attempt at any kind of full paint job with a clear coat. I also decided to make the first go round a candy job using house of color orange... While the orange turned out great, the coat beneath it not so much.. Yall get the good pictures of spots that aint horribly jacked!
From this:
Down to this:
Before Black:
And Finally:
As a side note, I recommend that no body else try shooting a candy on their second car ever... probably isnt going to turn out so well

i spent approximately $750 for paint, but only because House of Kolor paint is EXPENSIVE. Had i picked a normal orange i would have saved a pretty penny on the base coat and the orange.
I did a few things to mitigate cost, and none of those went wrong. I think i spent the most on the base coat (silver) and that is exactly where all of my problems where... go figure.
