Looks fantastic!  It got cold here overnight!  Still warm enough to spray?

Any possibility of a video?

Too tight a space really to see anything in a video... sorry.

So! Went to work this morning and started the base coat!
First things first, a bunny suit!



Then I washed down the floor with warm water to quell any dust bunnies.

Then I walked around the car and hood with a tack rag, checking for any dust etc.

Then on to the paint! First coat, still wet.





Second coat:





And third and final coat of water based British Racing Green!









Next up: Clearcoat!

Three coats of European 5 Star Clearcoat later, I am out of the shop, letting it cure. 
I saw a couple sags from a heavy hand, but nothing too major. I can clean those up in the cut and buff. Overall very little trash and everything looks good. Hard to tell in the shop lighting but I am happy. Done!!!

All of the under panels are already done. Look further back in the thread.

Gotta love a fresh paint job, especially this color!  I predict you're gonna dote over this for at least a year!

Congratulations!  A nerve wracking day I'll bet.

I’ve never been more paranoid about where my air hose was...
