A few minutes ago a light coat of basecoat was sprayed to make sure everything was straight. Tomorrow the entire car should be fully painted and clear coated. smile.gif The color looks weird but that's not exactly the same color. It's going to be lighter and with more metal. That's just a cheap basecoat to look things over. The paint itself is a custom color. Looks awesome in the sun.






I'm so happy that my car isn't black anymore and it's finally shaping up. biggrin.gif

Can't you read before posting? rolleyes.gif Who cares how that first coat looks if it's going to be sanded? It was a test coat with a cheap base coat to look for imperfections. Read before getting finger-happy next time. But thanks for stating the obvious, Captain Obvious.

EDIT: Since we're on the subject:

I am a PPG, I-Car, ASE cetified Collision painter. Remember though you get what you pay for. Im not macco, My jobs start out at 2500. Good quality paint alone costs over 500 alone. I use only PPG or House of kolor

I painted my scion rims all PPG Global Paint and clear Gold and black marble . As I am a ICAR platinum, ASE Master, PPG platinum certified Painter.


Gosh, you are overwhelmingly annoying. Stay out of my threads. How many times do you need to post that you're a highly decorated painting god? Nobody cares, guy. Do you want a cookie or perhaps a badge? Don't you get enough attention at home? Do you stare at a mirror every night and repeat that as a mantra? Are you waiting at every opportunity you get to post something about paint? Jeez. laugh.gif


Back on topic, I get the car back on Monday. After we install the engine and tranny next month (gotta save for some more parts), we'll proceed to wet sand and polish the clear. Then it'll look really good. smile.gif

I'm sorry, Manny, but I needed to get this off my chest. He really annoys me.
