That paper looks like me when I was prepping my '77 for paint in my garage!! I thought only us novice's did that stuff

I told ya im on a budget build for this thing. lol
The paper was all double layed since paint can go through newspaper (hence why you dont use it)
Also i used a Sata minijet since i didnt want the spray pattern to be huge and for the overspray to kill everything.
