Looks very good, Bob. Don't you love how SS paint lays down and flows? And you never have to worry about cutting through the CC when wet sanding and polishing. In fact, the Jag looked good enough to just drive it w/o any detailing.

Now I know full well that's not a good idea to not put some protectant on the paint. But after a little initial oxidation the paint really responds to compounds and you don't have to worry about any orange peel or sand scratch ghosting after you've just put down a mirror shine.

I can buy 1 oz of material and once it's mixed to ratio, I'd say I'd have at least a 1/2 cup full in the gun. That's enough for one silly bumper. 6 coats at that.

But, jeez, a 20 dollar rattle can and no gun clean up is really the way to go here. It's half of what your massive bumper is, if that. I need about as much paint as it would take to paint your mirrors.

I painted the hood and front bumper of this a few years back when I could still find some SS paint down in San Diego County. The fenders are still factory and still SS at the time, '88.
