After great effort of glazing, sanding and 6 coats of high build primer {apply 3 sand apply 3 more and sand} , I was given a tutorial in painting the 411.Clint Sample ,my paint and body guy, nursed me to a skill level that he felt comfortable to turn me loose. 15 minutes and he handed his high dollar paint gun to me . Now do it!. You will be fine. They do not pay these guys enough for that skillset. Got a run in the intake stack. I'll sand that back down with 400 grit and reshoot tomorrow. Four coats of single stage urethane. It looked a little pink when I opened the can, but after the 3rd coat I was convinced I was getting the finish that would work. The paint booth cost $124.90 in plastic and 2x4's,and would gladly pay that again. No bugs on the finish. A newby can sure waste a lot of paint! My dog looked at it ,and gave me this look like, when can I lick it.
