Just ordered up a new Mirage XPO Cargo Trailer to keep the duster in. Need some place to keep the car where it stays clean when our shop has other projects that need work on that cause a lot of sparks and dust with metal fab projects. If all goes well the Duster will be painted the 2 or 3 of March. Delays SUCK. O-Well. PROGRESS.
 
Spent 16 Hrs in a paint booth and this is the color. Orange base with gold candy pearl in a mid coat and 4 layers of clear on top. Now comes cut and Buff. Will get the blacked out hood done at a later date.

Thanks, The orange pearl went into the black base. The orange went down then in the indeterminate clear got the Gold Candy Pearl then clear on top.
 
The back rims are 17x11 and the front are 17x7 American Racing Torque. Had the back ones custom backset At least that what going on the Duster. The rear ones that are on now are stock 16" off of 2000 Ford Ranger PU.
 
Its in the sanding of the clear coat now, then buff out and finally start throwing parts at the Duster. Done some trading Labor with the painter. Now with it taking SO LONG to get it done i think i made a bad call.
 
Decided to change out the heads be fore we even got the engine off the stand. Should help a little with the HP and the Bling factor.

The under side of the hood and trunk lids are under coated and left flat black.

Wow, making great progress and it looks fantastic!

Be careful driving around Bend, they have been tough on window tint lately.
 
Its a 15 tint should be OK. Rebuilt the tail lights,they turned out great. Cleaned up some of the wiring,and painted the back round on the duster emblems.
