Short answer is no.
I actually ran out of paint . I had 4 cups of paint mixed when my compressor failed.
I'll post the entire ordeal thus far when I have a minute.
In the meantime, my job is trying to kill me so I haven't had any spare energy.

Nice looking garage floor, keep at it. (Lol)

Oops that was a couple of tough breaks. Damn compressors fail at the worst times but that stuff happens. When I sprayed my Dart my power went out for almost 2 hours. Garage went pitch black and I got my right leg stuck to the right quarter panel while trying to feel my way out of my poly paint booth. The good thing is that you were still at the base coat stage.

The clear will tell the tale!Now you're talking!
Looks like you got the hang of the spray gun

Same picture as #54 but in colour it looks like? Amazing how the colour changes with the clear.

Yes, same picture.
I really like the color without the clear on it.
It got me thinking about a matte clear, but I think it will still change the color.

Are you using a adhesion promoter? Sounds like you didn't clear it yet. It's a metallic right?

Either clear will likely change the colour but your engine compartment is done in gloss already, so I’d bet you’re going with gloss. Will be nice to see all finished.

The products I used to use had an allowance of usually up to 48 hours for good chemical adhesion. Longer than that it was recommended to topcoat the base.

Hopefully I'll finish next weekend. It's a metallic red. I have sealer + 3 coats right now. Its been dry for a couple weeks now. It's scuffed and I'll put another coat if color and then clear.
