I just finished painting my ERA (742) with acrylic lacquer. (Not big on iso-cyanates) No big deal and saved about $6,500 over a quote from Tony's, one of ERA's preferred painters. The hand-rubbed lacquer finish mimics the
60's look. Not quite show quality (painted it in a warehouse) but no apologies will be necessary either. Bought the paint at
www.autocolorlibrary.com. Lacquer is not as thick as it used to be and thins only 1 to 1. I used a gallon of color and two gallons of clear. Plenty of paint for a cobra. Have about $850 in materials give or take plus I picked up a new Devilbiss gun at
www.spraygunworld.com. Another nice thing about painting the car yourself is its soooo easy to touch up if you have little mishaps on the track.
