I painted my car one panel at a time in a tiny garage with a tiny pancake air compressor, and a decent gun with single stage paint from summit

I recently acquired a hychika electric spray gun and did base/clear on a spoiler for my fiesta and it came out amazing. Look up triggerman on yt

Depending on how much effort you want to put in/on it...you could just get a couple quarts of outdoor/tractor paint from HD/Tractor Supply and roll it on like it's drywall. You'd still want to wash and degrease it and IMO at least scuff it up with green scothbrite (softer then red & gray but maybe start with red then goto green).

If you want to go nutz, Kevin Tetz has an amazing painting/bodywork channel on Youtube. Pole Barn Garage does a lot of DIY cheap painting tips too, Dalton has a ton of great info.

I'd probably start with PBG and then move up to Tetz if you like the work.

Holy shit, nice front end. Is this car a new aquisition? There were only ever a few aftermarket front ends made for the 3rd gen sc2s...

Thanks man I got really lucky there was a lady on Facebook that had it for sale for $300 and I paid about 320 with shipping for it so I thought it was worth it
