1990 Suburban Project

Here is my 1990 Suburban. Inside the engine compartment sits a Cummins 6BT with a NV5600 6 speed manual behind it. The original paint was getting pretty bad so I decided to sand it all off down to the original primer. The plan is to paint it dark jade green with a silver band down the center (body line to side molding). I'm going to be using Kirker paint and topping it off with SPI clearcoat. I'll be into it for under $500 but lots of prep time labor. So far, I've put about 40 hrs of sanding into it. And yes, I'll be spraying it myself under that metal canopy. The plan is spray it in sections since the vehicle is so large. I'll probably spray the top first, then the silver center followed with the rest of the vehicle.

I would remove the rear side windows but I'm afraid I might break them so I think I'll just tape them off
