Any other pictures? Bad orange peel? I was looking to do the interlux paint this summer, but I wanted a darker,deeper blue.

Im thinking about doing my first gen in mint green, too chicken to mess up the half decent paint its got though. Il end up doing it when I restore/bob a stock box for it.

they make a deeper blue but could not find a vendor that sold it. no orange peal. i painted it because it just sits in the front yard cause of emissions and it cant look like a pos the neghibors will complain and it would be towed. its one coat with some touch up and primered it than hit it with a wire wheel to scuff it up. it looks half way deseant if you want me pics i can provide tommorw.

Another cheap option is tractor supply tractor paint. like 20 ucks a gallon a little thinner 8 bucks. I sprayed my baja bug in the driveway, its not perfect either but its better than primer, and durable too. damn i cantget the pics off my laptop. Ill try when i get home
