UPDATED: JULY 2001:

The car is now painted the proper red (2B) mixed by Dupont.

I did the paint myelf, in a portable garage, with my Lemmer HVLP gun. Below are pics of the car sanded, primed, and painted.

Also, here' s a pic of the replacement gas tank, cleaned up and painted with POR15 rust paint, gloss black. Looks new!

Bodyshop manager, inspecting the final red paint, before the stripe goes on.  Note his serious expression, looking
for all possible faults in the job.  Although the paint job wasn;t perfect, he was ultimately satisfied.
