Re: suede paintjobs
I have this type of paint on my 1963 custom Falcon. We used a two stage paint to do it. Shot the first stage normal, added flattner to the clear coat stage and walla, suade paint!

Very COOL old Falcon. I'm not crazy about the flat paint jobs, but then I am "Old School". Maybe just old!!!! ![Dancing \:D/](./images/smilies/eusa_dance.gif)

Thanks guys.
The car has been lowered three inches all around so the lights actually kit your knees, not your nuts. I know this to be true as my wife has done it twice and cracked them off both times. Plus she hasn't any nuts!

It's the tail pipe that's dangerous though. If you're not careful, your shin will sheer open upon meeting it. Eventually, that pipe will shoot flames! The torture continues.
