Not Ranked
Thanks, Kevin,
I know that if I a professional painter, or even a little more experienced I wouldn't need 4 base coats, but I'm far out of practice and would say I've been reduced in rank to amatuer status, so I wanted to be sure of my coverage. My primer was touched up in a few spots and those had a lighter shade than the rest of the car and these were very light coats, so I was worried about transperancy. On my last coat I was able to up my gun pressure and put a proper "wet" coat on thanks to CobraDan's advice. There might be a spot or two that isn't perfect, but I'll live with it.
I've followed the re-coat window instructions as well, so that means I'll be striping and then clear coating most of the rest of the night. I had planned on at least 5 coats as well, maybe more, depends on how much time and material is left in my garage and me.
Thanks guys, I'll post another update late tonight.
