First time painting a car (well that's a lie. I tried once before, the dark blue that was on the car before, but it came out horrible because of bad temperature conditions) Had a friend (old school carpenter) help me this time, did it in his garage. I've painted some panels before and he painted his vette last year, that was his first car. He redid it about 4 times because of problems with the cheap paint he was using before he finally decided to buy something halfway decent. He picked up a pretty good spraying technique since he redid it so many times. I didn't make that mistake with cheap stuff and bought good materials. Used PPG for epoxy primer and HOK paints for BC/CC. Cost me about $1200 for all materials including a gun.
I will eventually be selling this car. I wanted to give it a good look and better my skill for my ls1 swapped e30. Considering we didn't do this in a spray booth I give it a 8.5/10. I literally just got home from his house. Still needs to be wetsanded and buffed. Most likely I'll get to it this weekend and upload some more photos
