I'm trying to stay out of this because the last time I commented on somebody's paint they got a little butthurt about it. Then half of his groupies ganged up on me, so leave me out. Is this your first time painting? You need to read the MSDS on that basecoat to see how long you can leave it like that before you clear it. What kind of basecoat is that? What kind of clear are you going to use?


I guess I couldn't stay out of this one.

You're painting it half at a time?

Be surprised if the 2 halves match being painted on different days.

Is why I'm asking what kind of basecoat and clear it is.

And what's with that red car back there. Who did that body molding and paint work on it?

the red car is my 89 supra 7m-ge w/ nitrous, its starting to have a valve tick so i bought the black one,,, which is now blue
