How to paint body
H.G. Wells:
I was thinking about this today, glad it came up.
My last one was mill finish and I could hit it with a scotch bright pad and WD-40 if it got nicked, dirty, or stained.
Think the next one (starting on chassis after Christmas) may get a pretty paint job on the exterior, and nothing on the inside.

I painted my shorty body on both sides, robbed the look of the old Jade Grenade only that car looks good, used two different metallic greens and a pint of gold plus all of the primer, filler, paper, tape and I was in it about $600+ and way too much time. If you just had the panels shot on the outside and no stripe across adjoining panels it probably would not be real expensive but the stripes add a lot of fitting, measuring and taping(time).

How about a rap. Would be very cheap and could be changed anytime. Not old school, just an idea.

Wrap sounds like a good idea... although I'm not sure if it sticks to bare aluminum?
What about Plasti Dip (https://www.dipyourcar.com/)? I may take this route sometime to experiment a different body color.

It sticks to aluminum
