After my first shot at painting, it seems I might have been moving the gun a little too fast? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I don't think enough paint flowed on to the fenders. This was after 4 coats, waiting about 20 minutes between coats. The paint store advised me to mix the paint and hardener 3:1 which I did through use of a graduated cup. I'm learning about painting and now I guess I'll be learning about color sanding. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
If anyone has done some color sanding, I could use some advice. I'll also consult with the auto body shop that has been advising me as well. This has all been fun and interesting and I'm looking forward to doing more. These pics show my results pretty well. Lots more work to do. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Attached image(s)
