  • Color coat went on OK, nearly ran out of paint. Takes a lot to cover even a couple coats...

    Then I started on clear coat. Shoots very different than color coat, much thicker material, was flashing off so fast it was nearly dry when it hit the bumper. Makes it hard to float out and self-level. I really had to lay it on thick.

    Once it tacked off, I was able to pull the paper. Now to wait for it to harden a day, fine sand and spin buff, put the pinstriping back on...

    definitely a different shade of red than the rest, although it looks worse in the pic than it does IRL, and when I get the fenders polished out, they'll brighten up...
