PAINTING THE CAR: My mother found the one-shot enamel sign paint to be sticky but paintable (her usual medium is water color or acrylic). She was less than complimentary about my brush choices: the enamel grabbed loose bristles and left them in the design. This didn't bother me; I found it authentic. She whined a lot but got used to it. We did one side (hood, trunk lid, driver's side, passenger's side) a day; each took about three to four hours. While she did the serious work, I fooled around. I painted small Hobbeses (from Calvin and Hobbes) on the fenders and put abstract leopard spots on the roof.
The auto parts near me is a good place to start to get the items you need to do the job. They can offer helpful advice, if you have any questions about the maintenance jobs you plan on doing.
No kind of paint will stick to old grease and wax. That's why you simply must use a solvent cleaner to wipe down the bed as an early step in the project. The solvent can be found right in your parts store near me. Get it and use it or else the paint likely will not stick. Sanding won't remove oil, grease and wax either. Sanding just grinds the grime into the old bed paint. Use auto yards near me .
Begin the process of winterizing your car by first inspecting the tires and brakes. The brake pads should have sufficient surface material on them to get you through the winter. They shouldn't give any squeaking or squealing noises when you apply the brakes. If the brakes have been squealing, they need to be changed. For the car's tires, measure the amount of tread left. You can do this by holding a quarter inside the tire treads. If you can see the top of George Washington's head, the tires need to be replaced before the first snowfall.

Does your Dad spend most of his time at the office? Great, run with that idea! Any local engraving store could personally engrave something for Dad's office...a clock, a picture frame, a pen set, etc.
