so this was my first attempt at painting my car. never done anything like it before what you think.
before   during    where i backed into my friends car lol          after       then thought it was missing something so i bought some red ghost pearl, but it turned out to be more pink and purple than red so i went and bought some red air brush pearl and put it on top ghost pearl  red pearl  i wanted to put the dragon on the hood with a racing stripe down the back, but instead of the typical racing stripe i put it on like a trail of blood           yeah i know the dragon messed up it ripped the black and clear coat when i pulled the tape off but this was all trial and error ill be going to school for it in the fall. |

Primer to primer primer to base base to base base to clear coat clear coat to clear coat. depends on the product your using. most call for a 5-10 flash time between coats. i give 20-30 minutes for primer/sealer to dry hand slick, and ~15 minutes for base. clears are a little more tricky, some call for 3-5 minutes between coats, some longer, and some are wet on wet. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
