Like the 168 in your early post, and would love the 188 if it had retained the cab.
Need to find a 165 !
That was my first steed.

3 hours? I used to re-shell damaged cars, could give it 3 coats of cellulose in less time, actually spaying it took no more than 10 mins the rest was waiting time. This was with a £30 gun that would need 2 pots full per coat.

No point trying to spray with low pressure it there....would have taken an hour with a bigger compressor, although the 15s chassis took almost 7 litres of paint, time i had done underneath the chassis and under the cab

So that was all done in one go, but more than one coat?
