Rum is capped, & I went back to work (on the car of course!) Now you know no grass grows under my feet(or the cars for that matter) so I just had to shoot some paint even though I'm still doin some bodywork!
So I started on the bottom, that sucked, runs, drips, errors & a few good spots, after 3 coats & some fancy gun handlin, its ok, a little sandin & good to go! [smilie=e:

Thanks guys!

K,now that was really no fun & i HAD to see what I could do on a relativly flat surface, not too shabby laid out pretty nice, needs more coverage I'm a bit light here & there but I'm REALLY happy with the results, not gonna have to buy another gun , did show me a few waves but thats why the guys recomended shootin a bit a shiny stuff, to make it easy to find my bad spots!
Oh! & not one drip or run in 3 coats on the roof & deck area! [smilie=e: Rich.

shot one more color coat & 2 coats a clear on the bottom, she's a little lighter than I'd like(almost candy apple lookin) but good for the tar scrappin area,but I will shoot more coats up top, but the clear was pretty nice to shoot, hit the underside a the roof, a bit of the rear seat section with a coat of color & called it a (long) day, those nooks & cranies are killin me, I need a diptank! blew through almost a gallon a color already, gonna take 3 I think??? Dats a lot a paint!

bit dark for good pics, so I will try for tomorrow if i get in early enough, a little filler came in the mail today!LOOKIE!
