Found some that I want to use to paint the 62 (going to be a home paint job. Not technically rattlecan, but it ain't a show vehicle), and from what I've heard it's very resistant to sun fade and tough as nails. Just wondering if anyone here has any experience with it and can offer any pointers.

It's one of the Hot Rod Flatz line that TCP Global sells in case anyone was curious.
 
True call on the respiratory protection. From what I've been reading, you want that plus a ton of ventilation. Since I can't afford the downtime to strip everything down and fix it all before doing an all-over paint job, I'll be repairing and repainting panel by panel in my shop. Hopefully I'll have a compressor by then, but if not I saw bulk packages of propellant for the Preval sprayers on Amazon. Be much more expensive in the long run, but that might be my only realistic option for a three-part paint mixture (rattle cans are way expensive to have done up, and it looks like once mixed the paint starts to harden after just a few hours).

Trying to make up my mind between gloss,

or flat

I like how the gloss is much less pricey, but I prefer the flat look and think it'll be easier to patch and hide any "wounds". Decisions decisions....
