I havent posted on here in awhile because I`ve been busy sanding and painting this beast 7hrs of sanding and half a day of painting later this is what she looks like! the difference is night and day!
I used Duplicolor ready to spray paint and primer from Advance, 2 coats of primer, 3 base coats (because I changed the color after the first coat lol) 3 clear coats. It started out as Midnight blue but it looked almost like the stock color because it had a green tint to it so I changed to Deep blue with metalic flake in it and I Love the color now! its perfect!! I used a 30 gallon compressor and a 1 qt spray gun to apply the primer and paint. I cannot believe how much better it looks!! this is the second thing I have painted with the spray gun, the first was a gocart, but this is the first real painting project I have taken on! 95% of it is prep work, painting is the easy part. Ok Pictures!!
This is what it looked like when I got it.
