I ground down the parting lines with a DA sander and then put on rage gold, sanded that, applied more and sanded, etc, etc. then I used black rattle can primer followed by black rattle can paint then wet sanded and it all blended together fairly well. To the untrained eye it looks decent. Far from professional, but I'll apply more elbow grease in warmer weather and do up a better job with feather fill and then acrylic urethane shot from a gun. That's the plan.......time will tell. I enjoy driving it so much I don't like the thought of it being off the road for paint..........but a really nice paint job does look fantastic.
