Message Overall the painting turned out great! With the temperature around 30F outside, I had to leave the heat on in the garage for a day for the metal to reach proper temperature. Even with it being a couple degrees below normal, there were no runs and even better it flowed out with no peel! There is a layer of epoxy, two bc, and two cc.

I only painted to the places I thought would be seen, so I stopped near the frame rails on both sides. The pictures dont do it justice!


Just sprayed epoxy, I let this set for a week. You can see beside the hatch where the metal is pushed up in this picture.

I didn't paint in a paintbooth (obviously) and it still turned out great. The rest of the car is waiting to be put into color when it warms up.
