Always do a test panel ! I learned forty years ago. I was painting a Can Am McLaren for Sam Posey. The car came from McLaren painted red. Sam wanted the car red, white and blue. I painted the car late Friday night. I came in the shop Saturday morning to admire my master piece only to find a pink car. White over red doesn't work. The red "bleeds" through the white. That's when I learned about "sealer" !

Hey Chris, I see you have quite a mess on your hands. Hats off to you though, body and paint is something best left to the pros. But, with a little guidence and a lot of patience, the same end result can be obtained by a beginner. When you get the body ready for paint again, why don't you give me a call. I've got over 30 years experience and I am also PPG certified. I have sprayed every kind of paint on the market, mostly custom finishes (house of kolor, metalflake, etc). I could suggest the proper products and easiest methods, with the conditions your spraying under, to give you the best results.

Thanks for the offer Spike, I might just take you up on that but it'll still be a while. I am just getting settled back in the house after a ~3wk trip. It's still ridiculously hot here so it'll be a while before I get back on it in earnest as well. I figure things will be tolerable in another couple weeks and I'll take it from there.

Very good Chris, I know how you must have felt. There is nothing more gratifying than getting to the paint stage, but it's the unforseen in painting that can beat you down. Painting is definately the hardest part, and it's the first thing everyone sees. When your ready, if you need any advice you can contact me through my site.
Later,
Spike
