68 barracuda 383s "Driver Paint Resto"

First of all, i have to say i love the car and especially the color. It looks to be in outstanding condition (other than paint.)
Secondly, to paint it yourself or not is your choice, not anyone else's
Thirdly, and last, if you want a nice finish that will last, then do your homework and be honest with yourself about your abilities.
Leaving it the way it is with the patina has grown old with you and i understand that. To me, the car needs a new paint job.
"Driver quality" paint is a good choice in my opinion, (FWIW)
Enjoy the car, and post lots of pictures of the progress for us to enjoy as well!
It's all about smiles per gallon, and whatever makes you happy, bottom line............
