1970 Swinger 340 Hemi Orange 4 speed
Thanks!
I picked up the other gallon of hemi orange today. They say it has a shelf life of two years, and that's my plans anyways on finishing the car so that's not a problem! My dad has paint that is 10+ years old and still perfectly fine. As long as its stored at room temp and sealed properly it will last years! Anyways I got the two gallons of orange and a quart of black for the interior door frames and trim. I think I have enough base to paint two darts, haha. I always like to have extra tho.
The base coat with reducer was a little over $1200. The clear will be $800 plus all the filler, primer, sealer, masking tape, paper, sandpaper and other body shop consumables will probably be another $2000 and this is why body shops charge so much for paint jobs... Materials aren't cheap if you want quality!
