                  Nice job, looks good. Just keep it in FL away from the road salt. Your front Ford oval is floating in mid air.

                    Thanks for the compliments. The paint is a two part Epoxy primer by PPG, and its pretty tough stuff, I guess time will tell if its going to fade much. If so I may paint it the original graphite later, but that's going to require me to do some more body work to get it a little straighter. The wheels are 13" Koenigs.

                          oldone. That looks good. So I take it you used DP90LF?? It will eventually start to "milk out". Being you used the DP you could do a couple of things to keep it some what fresh looking. One trick that I know some have used is to freshen it up by applying WD40!! Now if you ever have to paint anything on the car it's gonna be a pain to degrease it. Another thing you could do is use DBC500 blending clear. Of course this would require that you scuff and respray the DP90 but then you'll have a pretty large window of time to apply the blending clear. Hope this helps.

                              Paint fading

                              just wanted to update in case anyone was thinking of going with the epoxy black primer. Its only been about 4 months, and the black primer paint has faded considerably to an almost grey color. In fact it looks faded enough that i will probably go ahead, reprime, and paint it the factory color.
