Painted! '65 Valiant Signet

[subcom]

Finally met a huge milestone in my project. Car is painted and I'm really pleased with the outcome. This was done with a budget single stage off-white with an integrated clear added. The color is exactly what I hoped it would be. White, but not too white (though hard to tell in the pics) and pretty close to an original factory type color. "Olympic White" is the name. It's about a five footer at the moment as there is some orange peel and a few spots that need to be cleaned up, but overall I'm happy and wanted to share the joy : )

Looks great, Best color combo for the early Valiant too.

The white really offsets the red interior for a beautiful combination. Nice choice.

Thanks. No I didn't paint it. I chickened out and had somebody else do it. I stumbled through a lot of the body work and prep. That was painful enough. Next time I decide to do body work, I'm gonna pick something with less curves in it. Like a UPS truck. I've thinking about doing the steelies white also.

Nice! I love white on the early A's.

that "not white" looks pretty good on yours. I couldn't see going even "not" white but wanted a lighter color on mine. originally gold on gold (wasn't going to happen either)
So I went to a "cool vanilla" lighter color and I like it being "not gold" too!

Thanks!
64 fenders and grill. Everything else is still 65.
I also removed some of the trim, welded up and smoothed over the holes giving it a cleaner look IMO. The rocker and trunk Signet trim is gone along with the antenna hole and trim and bumper holes on the fenders.
