Ive heard Omni DBC or MBP is great, ($800/gallon range)

I used a lighter grey sealer. Which was a horrible idea. It was the only sealer that was in stock. I should have just used black epoxy primer.

Either way, still just piss water. I'm pretty frustrated and repainted the whole thing. Approaching 5 GALLONS of paint at this point. Almost done (thank god).

Helluva learning experience but made 2 major mistakes. This was my first paint job, let alone shooting real paint/2 part clear.

1) light color sealer

2) "economy" line of a rich metallic paint. (still 240$ / gallon)

The finished product so far is great, but 10-12 coats was/is an absolute fucking mess.

Wish I painted the car black ... :/
