Car Photographer - Here is a link on hand painting a car (which I intend to follow):

Mister Towed & Swifty are just two of the Sammio builders who covered their painting experience in detail.
Mr T often says his lack of painting experience left him with something that looked like "old" paint.
The thing to remember is that old racing cars didn't alway have perfect paint originally.
Good luck, Paul.
