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.

Paint looks wierd cause its not atomized right. Its called Modeled paint . When cleared it will look stripey or blotchy or both. A) not a good paint gun . ways to over come it cross coat it make like x when you paint. Play with the air pressure HVLP gun needs to be set at 10psi- 20 psi no more then that sprayed approximately 6 in from pannel with a 80-90% overlap at a slow steady pace with long strokes

I am SO happy, man. Just came back from seeing the car. The color turned out beautiful. In shade, it looks a tame grayish blue but under sunlight...well...see for youself. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The cellphone camera doesn't do the sparkle any justice. Plus, I didn't expect any color shifting based on angle, and it happened, so I'm twice as happy. ![]() -------------------- |

Vaya Boricua!!!! It looks real good! Man, I need to get mine painted. Are you leaving the rims or are you going with something bigger. No hate since I know the roads are rough in PR but it looks real good. Looks likr the kit went in nice. Did you have a lot of trouble to put it in or is it TRD? Se ve bien socio!
