The blue supra was switched to 8V3 a lexus color. Close to the factory blue. We did not paint jambs and under hood.

Go for it.

One gallon of color. Not reduced. and gallon of clear. Not reduced


Big mistake on last coat of clear. The painter hit a panel and sent alot of dirt into the air. It took two wet sands and 3 buff jobs before totally happy with the paint job.

In hind site i should have stopped at car wash and blasted car with pressure washer. I saw them blow car off with blow gun several times as well as wipe down after all body work was done. However car had set for several years and all it took was one last tip of clear spray gun to find hidden pocket of dirt. BTW I am very picky when it comes to paint. Outside in day light you could not see any dirt in the paint however under the gararge light you could see some dirt in the paint. The car look great now.

Good luck
