Yeah I hate that too, but for me I found what *usually* happens to make the paint drip is that paint accumulates on my fingertip and drips off. So far I haven't had a single drip on this project. I'm also now using one of the spray adapters which seems to help a lot.
I like it! You should do the hatch and roof the same way. Then get an autobot sticker and call it Bumblebee! laugh.gif J/K
But I do like how it came out. smile.gif

Thanks. I did consider doing the roof and hatch, or doing everything from the windows up, but honestly it's just too much work for something that would be difficult to reverse. lol.
I got nite shades for the tails today though. smile.gif
Hopefully I can get that done in time to submit today for featured ride, but if not there's always next time.

So I had to PS up what it would look like. Would it look good?
I'm getting a spray gun and I'm leaning towards a single stage rat rod urethane satin black through Eastwood.

The single stage rat rod from eastwood is what I have for the accent here. It goes on smooth and easy as pie. it really is a fantastic paint. There used to be a guy on Crooked H with his tib done like that and It was siiiiiick, I think he wrecked it or something.
