Welcome, slo R/T!  Cool name!  :wave:

Nice looking cars you have!

Just curious, on the burnt orange car in restoration, what size rims are those up front?  17"?  What car did they come off of?  Thanks!   :thumbsup:

Hi Guys,

Not near the point of picking up a spray gun, but I have done enough reading to tell me that this is a hard color to apply.

Someone mentioned that it should be sprayed all at once or you will get shade changes.   even if I keep the car on rotisserie how can I paint everything at once? door jams, trunk, underside, engine area... seems non realistic. 

Any tips/guidance is appreciated !!

im located in north carolina
i dont currently have any more pics of the cars right now
the blk cuda is a #s matching 440 4 spd car
the orange cuda is a non-matching 440-6 4spd, but it does have a 69 440 hp block
the white cuda is #s matching 340 auto

the rims are from a lx car,300, charger, challenger. i have a 275/45r17 mounted on one of the rims and is clears the quarter panel with about an inch of clearance, but on the front i dont know if it will clear the fenders yet

the challenger is painted toxic orange or sunburst orange, its a newer color that Chrysler is using. as far as paint tips i dont really have any to give out, its mainly trial and error with the color for me
