You know that color darkens up a lot when you buff it, though? It might match if you do that.   ^_^

 

The rest of the car is buffed already. That door was removed years ago... I often wonder why I still have it.

Paint is still wet.. layer down really nice. Some dust as expected. Might have a spot or two that came out a bit thin, only time will tell. Might need another coat at some point.. but not looking to do that any time soon.I was too nervous to fuck up what I had going.. and what would have really helped... is a lot more light in the booth. Ah well.. I think it looks pretty good.

Almost looks like I knew what I was doing.. lol

Honestly, I was completely surprised. I thought you were rattle can-ing it since I wasn't on here yet and you said you did it the night before. You really did a lot to get it done and head up Friday. Also, still glad we came up Friday! Saturday would not have been possible for me otherwise. I would have just stuck to my original plan with the race day and missed all the Datsun amazingness. Would have been a MUCH cheaper life choice tho I'm guessing ;)

The color has grown on me. Did you make it to Canby this year? 

 

No!  We'd accidentally scheduled a trip to southern Oregon to see family the same weekend a few months beforehand.  I'm disappointed I didn't make it, the pictures I saw made it look great.

Try working some of the dents with heat and apply pressure from the inside, I did that on my dime's door and didn't need to use any filler.

 

There is pretty much no access to the inside of the rear doors. I have a stud welder so I pulled some of the dents that way. One dent is just fucked.. so I'll do what I can with it and then use some filler.
