so, i did the 2nd coat on the fenders and cowl panel. turned out pretty nice. i think 4 coats should cover it perfectly. before i do a 3rd coat i may do a light sanding with some 600 grit sandpaper just to help it stick better and perhaps make it more durable once it fully cures. one thing i have noticed, when using the foam brushes, it goes on really thin. so iam going to mix upa differnt ratio of paint/spirits. maybe a 15% or even 10%. one trick i have found out is to keep rollering the paint on. dont get more on the roller, just roller untill its almost tacky. really smoothes it out. i will upload some pics soon. for some reason it wont let me load any right now. more to come, i will start on the body this weekend. tony

update, i finally got time to do a second coat on the underside of the hood. i used a 40-45% mix of the sherman willams direct to metal paint with mineral spirits. less bubbles, and it turned out fairly nice. the first coat would scratch either, very durable. the color i choose was knockout orange which my franklin mint 240, but is lighter once applied. still looks good though. new pics are my album. tony

what a pain in the arse. i hate bubbles. i did a first coat on the backside of the hood. orange. i matched my franklin mimt 240 to sherman williams knockout orange. i will post some second coat pics soon. for know bubbles are like the soviets in in 1980, bad. very bad. more to follow in 12-24 hours. thanks for shopping
