Sorry, but 91 Syncros are a rare bird and my favorite ride of all the years made.
I couldn't drive it around with it painted to look like a cloud and with dolphines jumping over a rainbow.
Just didn't work for me.
Not blaming hippies, just scratching my head at the paintjob.
It is my Syncro now and is "battle" black for offroad fun.
I have a video of it clearing my motocross tabletop jump at 45 mph.
I will get it on uTube at some point.
Don't think it would look as impressive with the dolphines.

Yes, it holds ok.. for a while. I have never visited WalMart but the
local equivalent shop has similar products of similar price level
which I used to use on my previous project. But they also had
semi-glossy topcoats which I used. It really makes a difference after
a while, but does not cost any more actually. I always cleaned the
spot,sprayed a very thin layer of primer and after that the topcoat.
With the same amount of paint & work You can get more lasting result.
You just change the can You are using after first few puffs. I just
saw my previous project while ago and it had developed several new
rust spots. Mostly in completely new places, not the ones I painted.
On the otherhand my brothers project that has been sitting in similar
place had enormous pieces of paint chipping away. That car was painted
with porous primer only. Some 95% of surfaces still ok, mostly places
that have original paint under them.
