Nice score. I've had pretty good luck with Rustoleum.

Your best bet is to find another red fender. Should be pretty easy, considering how common red ones are.

fender

to much work. this car was hit and i saw where its wrinkled under the hood below the headlight area. took me a couple of hours to make it fit, not perfect but better than before.i also added another mirror,also added the door pockets,i have two extra grilles i just cant get them to fit unless i chop it up. the one in the car was chopped.

$300

well ,im doing a rattle spray on this $300 high miles 88.i did the top half gray primer rustoleum. the bottom half black satin rustoleum. added red pin stripe .show you when im done.

i think it looks good! i used the $1 cans, and should have used something better

[yutz]

rattle can.

just have to do the top ,driver side, and top half of the hatch , the front and rear bumper with bumper spray charcoal color.then add the red pinstipe. im going to spray the grille a flat red (if i can find some ) yeah i tried using the dollar cans not worth it. does not spray as well as the rustoleum.
