    Thumbs up

    The outcome is not up to par with SneezinCD5 so the bay will be sanded down and repainted in a paint booth. The dust and overspray was terrible. The initial plan was to paint the entire car in the garage, but not going to happen now. The average Joe would most likely be happy with the garage job, but too much work is going into this to settle for anything less than a clost to perfect paint job.

    Enough jabber, here is the work:

    Mixing it up:





    Laying it down:











    Flash used:













    Thanks for looking

    If the garage door was lowered to the height of a 2' box fan, and you had 2-3 of them, and sealed the gaps between them, there would be a ton less trash in the paint. :/

    Great color and great build. Has me wanting to start a full-stripped project.

    ....and the overspray would of been 10X worst. The trash is not that bad, it's the overspray that killed it. He just painted his hatch earlier in the week using the garage method. Had to open the door because the overspray was so bad that you couldn't even see the other side of the garage. After spraying for about 20 seconds the entire driveway was a big cloud of mist.

    Air filters.

    It looks good in pictures regardless.
