Have you considered going the rustoleum route?
Actually, I was planning to go with Rustoleum and have done way too much research. I was planning to roll it, there are some who say that works and I don't have a great place to spray. In the end, I did all the prep work myself and will have somebody else shoot it. I've got it fully taken apart, sanded and spot primed where needed. There really shouldn't be much work left, so I'm hoping it will be cheap and save me some time.
I want to copy the scheme on the last two also - red, white and blue. Blue power bulge on the hood, red stripes high on the side, and blue down on the rockers. I will have the shop do the white only, and then I plan to do the red and blue with Rustoleum spray cans. I'm also planning to run black flares and rocker covers, that will just be black bumper paint I think. I'll keep most of the trim natural, not go crazy with blacking it out. I want it to look like a throwback to the late 70's, even though it's an 88.
Here's another one for inspiration. That is John Deere Blitz Black on the bottom side.
I'm not too sure about that Festiva, but I applaud the effort! Your "big" wagon is another one on my list. It looks great, especially after you did the sides in black. Really good graphics also with the "Eagle X".
On another note, i had some good news today about the AC. I dropped it at a shop and they checked it out. Looks like there is a wiring problem, so no power is getting to the compressor. They were able to run power it directly manually and get cold air, probably for the first time in 15 years. I suspected something wrong with the dash controls, as the vacuum is not being shunted to the heater bypass valve when in cold modes. There's no vacuum leak in the engine bay, so something must be wrong under the hood. But at least I won't need a compressor. I guess it will need to get switched to R-134.
