Re: never again will i paint this.... (octaneaccord02)

well the car is not mine so i dont have finished pics....

all so the silver is SINGLE STAGE not base clear very difficult to get to lay out...

but this allowed me to spray form the inside out so i did not have to seal,then base then clear so it kept the touching of wet paint to a minimum.... monkey
