Default Painting an M715
I'm picking up my first M715 this weekend its a 67 with a 350 CHevy conversion, 4k miles, and its red. I want to paint her the original OD green and from what I read on the forum I'm leaning toward the USMC gilespe green. My buddy who owns a body shop also said I could do a base clear with a semi- or full flat clear.
My questions are
can an first time painter do the gilespe paint fairly easy?
How many years can I expect to get from the paint before its starts to look totaly flat?
Will the base clear last longer?
If anyone had a 715 painted by a shop how much did it run....can't be much to tape off LOL.
