Painted my Model A last night. Fisrt paint job ever!! Pics

Well I painted my car last night. This is my first car I have ever painted so I think it turned out pretty good for a rookie. I did get a few runs but I hope to get those all. The color is 1937 Ford Washington blue. I can't wait to get it out and put it back together and get it in some sun light for better pics with a better camera. Enjoy!!

Are you sure you haven't done this before? Very nice.

 

Looks good from here...

 

Wish mine were that far along. Looks good

 

Looks great to me. I love Washington Blue on early Fords, waiting to see the end result!

 

Awesome! That's a no brainer color....it's always a good choice.

 

nice...

 

not to shabby!

 

Nice work. It looks good.

 

Pretty cool...That brought back memories from my first paint job...I was 14.I had to learn at an early age, `cause I couldn`t afford to pay someone to do it for me.

 

Looks like you done good.

 

Good effort, your only going to get better, and you have the pride of a job well done.

 

Can I be next!!! Nice job.

 

LOOKS GOOD! I remmber when I painted my first [in '56] was an A model coupe I was 18. My Dad said to sand er down and fix the bumps, and we will paint it. Hey that sounded good! well I sanded some and made littler bumps. Took it out to where he worked at the paint co. He was a formulater he designed paint, made the formulas, and he custom made my black paint. We were outside and things were right so we sprayed her right next to the building. I was pretty proud of my newly painted A, little bumps and all. Yours looks lot better, and done right.

 

wish i would have known you were going to do this..they say its cheaper to do 2 at a time

 

X2 It's a real neat color.

 

Shiny? What the fuck! In the 50s guys sanded the paint off, and took a piss on their cars to make them rust. Oh, wait, that's what they do now. Looks good, esp. for a first try.

 

Looks good buddy. Just like an old hot rod.

What ever come of that hot start problem?

 

Not bad for a TARD!! No really man I am proud of ya little brother!! Once you get the tape and plastic off so you can see the cream firewall against that blue it's going to be bad ass!! GOOD JOB BRO!!!
