Here's what happens when you REALLY don't care about your paint. Rustoleum "Pumpkin Orange" paint, some spray-on and some roll-on. Done in three days with no sanding beforehand, except to feather the edges of the old peeling paint that were chipping off.

Before:














Day after:


(very noticeable spray lines, I re-sanded only the hood after seeing this photo)







A few weeks later. Only photos I took, for obvious reasons:


(remnants of buffing compound that won't come out from areas I really didn't sand or clean too well)


(still waiting on running boards)


(I'm still finding glass in places)


A few months after that:








I have a lot of nice things to say about "black ice" wash/wax in one soap.

Even after doing a bunch of thin coats the paint I used was soft for like two or three months afterwards. It very noticeably hardened up as the summer came around, and that's when I waxed it.
