Today on my 1950 B I fixed the light switch (Thank you Ted) and the starter switch. I also took off the tool box, and started putting on the generator. I plan on posting pics tomorrow after church. Any advice on where to find paint, or how to get the best results on painting, or just anything in general appreciated. Thanks!

if you want restoration quality, try to find an auto body shop which mixes PPG and give them code 60080, ask for single stage urethane. there are cheaper alternatives such as Tisco and Valspar depending on your expectations and budget

My sugestion is don't rush into paint, get everything working good and replace all leaky seals. Then before you paint clean, clean and when you think you got it clean it more. The prep work makes the paint job. My PPG guy set me up with the right reducer and hardner and i think putting the paint on is the easy part.

The universal answer to all questions is yes, how much do you want to spend?
