This is my first 2 stage paint job ever. I practiced my first single stage paint job ever a few months back on my 65 Dart. Sold now. Never painted a car before. It was a great learning experience for sure.Looking great. Wish I had the talent to paint an exterior of a car. I stick to the interior, bottom, trunk, and engine bay. My screw ups don't bother me much in those areas.
On man....the only way you can get away with wearing a full beard is to have a full mask and positive air pressure system and hardly anyone wants to do that because it's not exactly cheap. And the only painting I've done is a panel here and there starting with a dash restore in a pick up and it came out so dang nice that I wanted to do more. Anyways, safety is ALWAYS first especially when it comes to breathing and I learned a lot working in a refinery for over 20 years. And quit washing parts with chemicals bare handed too! Btw, nice looking job.....!I just wanted to thank everyone for their comments. I really appreciate it. I just stopped at the paint store to get some more of the gloss. I also bought a new disposable respirator. The guy was telling me how dangerous the chemicals are in the paint and then even my beard not letting my mask seal completely could cause some serious issues. Looks like I’ll be shaving when I get home. I don’t want to end up in the hospital or dead from these chemicals crystallize in my lungs like he said.
