Been a long time coming. Was finally able to paint it today. This summer has been hot and muggy and not conducive for painting. I have been waiting for a window to paint and never really got one. I decided to use a very slow activator/reducer and let each stage flash off for a day before applying the next stage of paint. I don't have a booth so temperature and humidity plays a factor. The base was put on yesterday and went down real nice. No runs and flattened out super. Today I sprayed the clear and it went down alright. A couple of runs and a little orange peal but should sand and buff good. Ken

Looks great. I am assuming you are bolting or gluing your inner fenders on.

Thank you and yes I am bolting on the front inner clip. I made it removable so it will be easier to work on. Ken

Oh, and thank you for posting the gun specifics above, I was guessing that it was a HVLP of some type.
