Looks better than the one in my '98 Bird. Probably a Chevy part.

Looks absolutely amazing! I've seen garage paint jobs come out better than some down draft booths. This is definitely one of those garage jobs? What kind of guns are you shooting with?

I'm pretty partial to my Sata 5000RP and Tekna Prolite.

I use my 4000Rp for clear and 4000 hvlp for base. I also have a tekna but prefer my satas. I used to paint professionally but now it's just a hobby. Ya I agree some of my best work has come out of my garage. Trips out some people they think painting in the garage is something only a hack would do lol
