Well this weekend is what I have scheduled for paint. This week and the begining of the weekend I will be doing the last of the body work (Not much left) and priming/ block sanding. Sat-Tuesday I plan to prep my garage and paint. Our garage door is jammed and won't open as of right now. Thats the only thing that will stop me! Any last minute tips? For anything really, especially handling the clear coat and wet sanding it, wet sand it by hand then polish? I do need an air compressor though. Mine sucks, guns and supplies im loaded up.

Hey good luck, just remember patience is the key to a great paint job. I have painted thousands of cars, and some were clean and some were so dirty you could collect real estate tax on them. Don't get discouraged if somethimg happens, remember anything can be fixed. Again the best of luck.

Just take your time and keep the base paint mixed thoroughly to keep it consistent. Take lot's of pic's between gun loadings.

Best of Luck and I hope everything works out!

Just don't forget to ventilate well and wear a good respirator with fresh cartidges, at the min. and preferably an air supplied respirator.
Good luck!

About mixing. In case I have an air compressor problem and the pot life of the paint when mixed. I think it would be best to mix it in smaller ammounts, but then have to worry about each fill and mix being perfect. Whats a good way to do this?
