Just got done painting my new mustang its been a long time comming and i'm realitivly happy with it, as its my first paint job in 15+ years.

The car was originaly Lime green with a black vinyl top... Its now Gulf green (1972 GM color) with a new vinyl top

what do you think of the color combo/work?

It didnt look bad before and it looks great now. I will have to check out the other pictures. I also painted mine and it was at least 15+ since I had painted as well.

Good job and it looks wonderful!

Thanks and no, the paint was bad before, but there was some blistering on the hood and rear passenger quarter, as well as some very minor rust in the roof and quarter panel, which prompted a re-paint
