I also began painting the hood. I'm uses a brush to paint the car so I'm wet sanding the car
It will take forever but will look nice in the end and cheap only $80 so far. Will load a pic soon

Dont worry about the paint so much, just make the thing run like champ take it to the track drive the snot out of it and when you have the right stance and all suspension sorted out then paint it, if the paint bothers you rattle can it all one color, flat black
