Ryan was a huge help. Will still need a good wet sand and buff. I’m putting this at a 7.5/10. Hoping to get where I can lay the paint and have a choice as to whether I wet sand or leave it alone. At least there no runs on the panels

Damn... nice work boys! Jealous of you having a full barn to be able to work in like that... I get to mask off my garage this spring when things warm up so I can throw down a layer on BeBe. The eternal debate of "should I really paint or should I Monstaliner it?!" rages on to this day!

Greg, a garage is really no different that what we are painting in. See the fan surrounded in plastic below the roll up door. That works pretty good as a temporary set up. I am in favor of paint but it’s always a personal preference. Good luck and always glad to share any lessons learned from this end.
I've painted a couple of Cruisers in my residential garage. The HVLP guns are great in that they do not create a paint cloud that necessitates a booth set up. I understand it for paint protection though once applied. The old positive pressure guns were a huge mess!

Yup, got me a decent old compressor, HF HVLP and some primer to start (going rustoleum). Once the weather warms up to the point where the garage is consistently above 55* then I will go at it.

Do yourself a favor and get the aluminum paint cup for your HF HVLP gun. Much easier cleanup with more capacity. The lid is 1/4 turn instead of the plastic threads on the stock plastic one.

One correction...this is not MJ’s (@mcguirejohnson )HDJ81 but rather an 80 that he’s transplanted an 81 drivetrain into. This is a build he’s doing for a customer. So he’s now calling it a HDJ80 Poverty-pack with a sunroof
. The donor was a RHD 81 with a 1HDT/H151 part time with locked axels. Gonna be a sweet truck. Transplanting the JDM interior as well as 16” FZJ80 Steelies. Slinky coils and slee 2.5 resivoir shocks. And it’s packing Jason’s control arms. fortunately his customer is his best friends dad so he will get to see it down the road.
