Good day to paint, at least some of it. Thought I would share some photos of where I'm at on the paint while waiting for it to flash off.

 

Lookin good. Is that a 3-stage?

 

You make it look like anyone can do it

 

Its 2 stage, (effect). You know what that means, multiple coats. The white is straight foward. The "BOSS" was wanting a pearl but most of the ones we looked at and liked were 3 stage and a little too much on the darker side. This Blue has a lot of pearl and seems to move light really well and excellet reflectability. You can read "Goodyear" on the tire on the Red car and see the trusses in the roof. The panels have not been buffed yet.

 

That's a thing of beauty! I can't wait to see it all back together.

 

That is going to look nice once it is all done.

 

Sounds like a 3-stage to me. Base (white), mid (blue), clear.

 

The blue is Base/Clear. Mostly pearl's and candy's that are 3 stage (the prettiest pearls usually are). I would have loved to used a 3 stage pearl (base, midcoat, clear) but did'nt want to go thru the headache or better yet, was a little afraid to try it. They do have a unique look and the "Candy's" are bueatiful.

 

Hopefully I can learn to paint like that.

 

and you definitely dont want to be painting a tri coat disassembled :P

is the underside of the trunk lid mottled? or is that just the computer
