Sugarwood, the paint process is by far the most important process of the build. It's one that can't be rushed. To much a stake for a mistake. I started by going with a 55 line base-coat clear coat system versus single stage. Both system are great. The single stage tends to be more robust as it has much more pigments. I decide for Glasurit line as it's proven to be by far a champion. I can't stress enough the importance of cleanliness during the process. I start by changing the booth filters and watering down the walls of the booth. Prior to spraying, two products that are you best friends namely, tack cloth and high end paint wax/grease cleaner to wipe down the entire car. I always spray a sealer for adhesion between the paint and primer. After sealer comes the most exciting process, the spraying of the color. Base coat sprays on in a medium wet fashion. No need to load it up with paint as Glasurit covers quickly in three coats. The high gloss clear goes on last. Taking it easy. I put on my headphones and chill.
