That's why I'm taking every panel off the car and doing them one by one. No door jam miss colors. Engine bay however will be silver but once the roll cage goes in I think its price will be whatever someone wants to pay for a track car.

painting small pieces is fine. i do that often to paint lips and stuff.
not sure how well rattle cans can withstand the long spray duration on large panels as pressure inside the can drops as you spray. that is the limiting factor for using rattle cans... the fan nozzles are usually pretty decent. one reason why when i paint wheels, i use 3-4 rattle cans simultaneously (not in both hands lol) and spray layers from each can taking turns before pressure drops. and keep the cans in the sun, warm to the touch. |

I do that too! One can was getting low so I only used it for the edges so the can was level. Then a new can was used to spray horizontal over the parts. And its 90 in my garage. In the winter I'll use a hair dryer and stick them in my paints to keep warm haha.

Gotcha. Yeah I saw a few and moved that can from horizontal to vertical. Only new cans go on top.
I think the hoods next and I'll remove it and lean it straight up to help the cans out.

Heat the cans in some hot water, turns the blobs into a fine mist

OP, the only thing I have a problem with is the fact that you used a Chrysler color Otherwise, nicely executed, like most of your DIY work

Awesome man! You could always revisit it if you decide you're tired of looking at two tone anyways I suppose I was just curious if this was going to turn into a full out paint job overhaul or a nice visual change is all haha! well good luck man and as always ill keep watching! It's cool seeing someone else close by doing so much DIY work to their Z as well! Hopefully some day we run into each other at a OGC meet or something
