tip...

take the tires of...
no matter how careful you are there is always something that gets on them...

glass and headlights out... makes a HUGE difference even if you mask them well

Take as much sheet metal off as you can and get all the way around...

PREP WORK!!!  its 90% of how paint comes out

Thanks for the tips.  I am having the guys who paint the airplanes at the Canandaigua airport do this as a side project.  I will talk with them further about their process.

One more week and it should be done...Bumpers, fuel tank cover, etc need to be painted black.  Hard to believe the tranformation.
