Painted the firewall today, some highlights:

I'm in LOVE with this color. I wanted something a tad lighter than the factory 525 yellow, and this was just what I was looking for.

Factory yellow compared with Daytona Yellow:

By no means perfect, but good enough for a work truck:

I was really impressed with the Harbor Freight "purple" spray gun. Having never tried my hand at an air sprayer, I can see why it has a cult-following on the internet. As for the holes in the firewall, I used JB weld and sanded it down. In retrospect maybe JB quik would've been better
