As far as I've gotten.
It's sitting in the garage waiting for clear coat to go on.
It'll go on tomorrow, weather permitting *fingers crossed*

bought the paint from San Leandro Color
New update... **** clear coat. I painted 3 panels and they all got air bubbles in em. My gun was sputtering so that caused it. I don't know why it was doin that, but I got really mad.
That was my last try at clear. So now ima have a shop paint that for me
.
I'm surprised how mad I got, honestly wanted to punch a hole thru my passenger door. Blah. Neway I'll post up pics of the final product.

imo, spraying clear isn't really that much harder than base. if nething its easier to cover ur mess ups cause if u run the clear or sumtin u can always sand and buff to get a glossy finish. but wetsanding is still a b**ch though, n i hate it -__-
