Thanks :tu:
I am pretty stoked at this point. I am still all over the place on color. I am going to seal the car in white ......................I guess I will figure it out then

Color-wise, you can't go wrong with "Arrest-Me-Red" or "Come-and-Get-Me-Copper"!

I got the second heavy coat of white on the car today. The third and final coat of white goes on tomorrow ( Monday 11 - 8 j
Then sanding with 600 grit. Hopefully I wont need to touch up any of the white.
The 4 heavy coats of clear filled with Roth Snocaine metal flake. Then 4 more heavy coats of clear…….then cut and buff

Once again, doing shit that I have no or very limited experience with. I added warm beer metal flake to clear. It sprays real easy. This is just the first coat but you get the idea

It has been cold so I haven’t been going to the garage. I went down today to drop off the metal flake and another gallon of paint. When I walked into the garage area and turned on the light, I saw a cool glow………I’m digging this

Did another gallon of clear with metal flake. I’m figuring another 6 or 8 coats of metal flake and then a lot of straight clear
