71 Twister up for adoption

Too bad you are not closer to WV, a guy I went to school with painted my Duster for 6K.
I had about 90% of the body work done, he fixed some dents in the roof, trimmed the doors and trunk lid.
He had it done, before he promised, for what the estimate was. He did a nice job.
I can paint, but had to use my garage to fix my kids daily driver, and paint the kids car.

You car looks good. I had a similar deal in 2012 … backyard job by a guy who painted professionally during the day. I was quite happy with the job he did. Something went wrong however and the paint on my hood started to bubble in just a few months. Over the next 10 years…small places the size of a piece of sand started showing up in several areas. My belief is that something (maybe moisture in the paint or primer) went wrong and a fix is going to require going down to bare metal. My current paint is still nice an shiny but there’s an issue at the primer level.
