Looks a ton better! I always push 'em out into the sun for a real assessment though, you might need a little more color than you think to make sure it's an even base coat

[bad436z28]

thx mike yeah tomarrow once it dries i will push it out in the driveway it was getting dark and wanted it to dry first,maybe tomarrow when i have better light i will give it one more light coat,i have an 18 hour recoat window.

[bad436z28]

thinking i might just go back to my original plan of painting it hugger orange,what u guys think,keep it the metallic blue or do the hugger orange,never had so much trouble laying metallic paint in my life.

[98blackbeauty]

I would continue with the blue, last pics look good. True day light will tell.

[bad436z28]

yeah its gonna be awhile before i can bring it out in the daylight,theres no tranny to hold the engine up.and i only have 18 hour recoat window to clearcoat it,so hopefully its good enough went over the whole car with a spot light and it looks awesome.looks about good as can be expected from a metallic paint,painted in the garage.thx larry i appreciate it.

I vote- stick with the blue!!!

I am confidant you can pull this off. Glad to see you not letting that speedbump slow you down.

[bad436z28]

thanks dirty T/A i appreciate it,yeah i stuck with the blue and and its all clearcoated now,wich i was regreat doing,but came out awesome that clear layed so smooth and glossy its hard to get a good picture the walls and everything are reflecting off it,will post some pictures i took soon.

[bad436z28]

i see a hugger orange car in my very near future,if this paint gives me one more problem its getting scuffed and painted orange like i originally planned its just too difficult to lay the metallic paint in the tight garage i have,it will get scuffed with 800 grit and i will order some good dupont basecoat,no more single stage paint for me.lesson learned.

Hard to tell from the pics but from what I can tell from the pics it looks good.

[bad436z28]

yeah she looks really good so far but has been a nightmare to get it to look that good lots of thin coats and has a little orange peel in the clearcoat on the roof wich is an easy fix,she sure did turn out good and glossy the clearcoat is like glass exept for the roof wich i can fix with some cut and buff,but still have the doors and front clip to do,this paint is a nightmare runs really easy should have ordered some good basecoat instead of this single stage,if i can get the rest to turn out this good she will be staying blue,should be a little easier with painting the pieces off the car,have more room to see what im doing.this paint is really kind of cool it changes color with the amount of light.

this paint is really kind of cool it changes color with the amount of light.

That is exactly the reason I would always paint metallics/pearls with everything bolted on. The angle at which the paint is applied can change the color for that panel. I'd hate to see a door look darker/lighter than the rest.

yeah i wish now that i would have done that,if i only knew how much trouble this paint was gonna give me i surely would have waited and did it all at once,all i can do know is pray it comes out looking good.my doors will be next on my list,hopefully they match ok.this paint has metallic and pearl in it.
