I hate yellow till I got a yellow car. It wasn't that bad for a while, now it's black/white/gray/blue/highlighter/yellow.

First Ever Paint Job

Just finished up my first ever paint job. It looks like a first timer job up close on the large panels. Type X bits, mirrors, all small parts look good/great, but the hood and body aren't perfect by any means. I mixed my own custom color from HOK shimrin bases at 6am this morning. Love the color completely but this was a definite learning experience to say the least. But from start to finish its all me by myself in my garage. Metallic/Kandy/Pearl for a first timer was a serious FAST learning curve. Walking the body length to get the metallic to lay correctly was very hard and I though I was doing it right but still got mottling, tiger strips, runs. Next time in going to get a slow reducer for the base coat instead of medium and make sure I make sure to shake the gun up while painting to prevent any settling in the cup. The slow reducer for the clear (SPI recommendation) really really helped out for a first timer. And im going to use the 1.5 tip for base instead of 1.3. Overall this took 4 days from start to finish painting primer Friday and BC/CC today. More time spent cleaning and re-masking Saturday and Sunday.

And I'm gonna rock it out flaws and ALL can't be ashamed of something I put time and effort in! My wife already said " up with the body and hood, but your mirrors look awesome" AHAHAHAHAHA. May cut and buff it down the road but for now I'm fucking painted out for a few weeks. Gonna put it back together and call it a day.

For reference (mixed/reduced):
SPI Epoxy & Adhesion Promoter/Med Hardener (2 quarts)
Eastwood 2K High Build/Med Hardener (1 Gallon)
HOK Shimrin Base FBC/KBC Custom Color/Med Reducer (6 quarts, 1 leftover)
SPI Universal Clear/Slow Hardener (1 Gallon)
60 Gallon Kobalt Compressor
Devilbiss FL3 with Dekups (1.3 and 1.5)
Shit gun for the epoxy primer
