Well tis my first paint job and I was all gun hoe, but today is a bad day! The primer I had in mind was spraying like bird dung so I drove as fast as I could to get some epoxy ppg before they closed. It was gorgeous this morning but now got colder and windy so day is not cooperating. Lots of orange peel. The primer is non sanding so I could wait a few days and straighten it out but the spay booth will have to come down again go up again and it may just get colder as it generally does this time of year. Well they call for an hour min to topcaot with 2 coats. I'm gonna push it to two maybe lay three coats of paint and wet sand out as much as I can another day. Just a bit frustrated. My first protection coat of primer I laid on a 78 degree dry still day and it flowed like magic. I guess this is why the good paint jobs cost so much... nevertheless I need to keep in mind it is a race car and perfection really doesn't matter. Hey it does look a million times better than the day I brought it home. Maybe Ill go drink a beer watch some paint dry and keep telling myself that! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wall.gif
