Sorry theres so many. I had to paint the door jams 3 times before the paint actually stuck. It kept raising. 3rd times a charm. The doors are actually on and the fenders have been cut in. I plan on having the fenders on Saturday but we'll see. I started the body work on the hatch today and hope to have it painted up on Sunday. Then comes the hood next weekend. I'll try to post some more pics of the doors on the car and of the fenders. In the last 2 you can see how the paint rose. Let me know what you think.

rattle can? and did you degrease the doors b4 painting? or prime?

No it wasnt rattle can and yes we primed and degreased them. It had something to do with the activator. This told me to get the wrong one so he doesnt have a job any more and I lost out on like $200 worth of supplies. But all is well now.

i think you just put the base on to wet use lighter coats and allow for adequate flash time

The primer that I used was a DuPount primer and it was the best of the best to get. With the wrong activator, the paint wasnt curing right or something like that but I will hopefully have some newer pics that look a lot better.
And that car with the shelby wheel in the backgroung is a 67 Shelby GT 500, and yes its real.
