Hi All,

I was able to lay a fifth basecoat using more pressure at my spraygun, a little improved technique, and I added a little black to the shade for a darker siver. The finish is smooth, semi shiny, and even.

Many kudos to the folks that have posted about doing doing thier own paint, your post and replies were very informative and very helpful.

It was a near perfect day for painting this morning, 74deg. a little cloudy but little humidity and only a slight breeze. I got a little worried when I opened my garage and it was pouring rain after being locked inside all day. I let the garage air out for a few minutes then closed it back up.

My goal is to drive to a friends house on the 4th of July. I may not have my interior completed but the car will be functional (lights, gauges, seatbelts, door latches, etc.)
