FJ5 Limelight is the color. Universal clear.

Looks good, always tough for me to get the overspray to look right on the underside when using bc/cc, I usually do a 50/50 mix and shoot the underside overspray first.

A friend of mine has a 70 Challenger 340/6PAK in SubLime green
It is not as bright as what you just sprayed.
You sure can't hide from the police with that color :lemo:
Nice job.

Thanks.
Sublime and Limelight are the same colors. Just different names for Dodge and Plymouth. It's just the pics....it sure is a though color to caption in a picture.
Bob, same here. What I do is on my last batch of mixed clear for the last coat, I'll go ahead and do a 50/50 mix also. After my last coat of clear I'll grab the 50/50 and do the overspray. Trying to do it just bc/cc will leave the white fuzz at the end of the color and or you will have clear on top of the gray primer.

Jeremy, I'm curious about the doors. Presumeably, you leave the splach shields off to access the hinge bolts, but doesn't pulling the doors just make it that much harder to re-install and re-align them after they been painted as opposed to leaving them on in the first place ?

50%color50%clear mixed. These old musclecars were all done with singlestage back when they were new so if you try to replicate the overspray on the underside with basecoat and clearcoat it doesn't look right. You can mix the base and clear and it ends up looking much more correct this way. Regular collision shops often do this when spraying jambs and edging panels to speed things up, it doesn't have the UV resistance needed to be used on the exterior but works fine for jambs and like this example the underside.

Thanks!
About for the doors. Most of the time I do leave them on but it depends on the type of car it is. Once you have the panels aligned it really isn't that hard to get the door back on. 2 people and lots of rags. There isn't that much adjustment on the door side with these cars...just mainly in an out. I've done enough of them now it really isn't a big deal. Advantage is, it is just easier to paint the front of the door jamb. If you have ever seen a factory one, there is almost no paint (most of the time straight bare metal) in the very front of the door jambs......same with the very back of the underside of the hood and decklid as these cars were completely assembled when painted.
