I want to paint my car myself this spring/when the weather is appropriate for doing so… Need air compressor and basically all the tools to do it! Any recommendations? ---

Don’t do it! It will get very expensive and tedious very fast, and you will hate life, especially if it’s your first time. ---

The car is a project car, it really needs paint so even if it doesn’t turn out perfect it will be an improvement. I still want to do it! I’m more asking what I need to buy although I have a friend who’s dad used to paint cars in his garage so maybe I will ask them too. ---

I thought there was another thread somewhere on here listing everything you needed… A lot of time should go into prep work. ---

Over the weekend a friend and I installed a 15% pulley, colder plugs, wires, belt, solid motor mount, and poly gear box bushings. I took it out for a quick spin and I’m very pleased with the results. [https://youtu.be/VL5jCRJ2iio](https://youtu.be/VL5jCRJ2iio) The next day we installed a Prosport boost gauge, Cravenspeed adjustable short shifter and shift well cover.
