Sprayed some paint today and am pretty happy with it for doing it in my shop.Summit single stage with a 50/50 mix of clear and color on the 4th pass.I spent around $500 on materials and about 5 weekends.The lights make it look yellow but it has a green tint at different angles.

Wannadrag nice job you did. How did you control the dust so well? Good luck


I do have a exhaust fan plus I always have good air flow through the shop when the front and back doors are cracked also wet the floor down good.I aired it out good between coats then closed it back up to keep the heat in as it was only in the high 40s here today.I used a medium reducer and activator which seemed to work good with the temp.And believe it or not I shot it with a $9.99 harbor freight gun,unreal huh?
 
nice job I was to paint mine today but I will be tomorrow I can't wait to have color on her
 
That looks really good! Nice job, however, I kind of liked the green too

sharp can't wait to see the final assembled product
 
After a few days of wet sanding and polishing I think it turned out pretty decent for a guy that hates body work.Just got done putting it back together.Now I can get back on the gasser pickup project.
