So I hear the car was primed today. I'm going down there tomorrow to take pics.

Hopefully next weekend(23rd) its ready for color. If that happens, it'll take me about a day to re-assemble it and get it fired. Keep checking in.

Went to look at it today, but forgot to take pics since i was in pain. But it looks great. I'm excited.

Wow this project is getting done!

Lets hope so, i'm still a bit short for supplies. I need another $350 for clear and $200 for the booth rental. But i should be able to make it happen.

$350 for clear? HOK?

IIRC its the EC700 clear from PPG. Back to back clear that sands like pixy dust and once fully hardened is like glass and shines as such. Probably the best clear made by PPG.

Yeah, its kinda the only clear that can be used envirobase. Not a bad thing, just gotta stick to one paint system. I want to show people that waterbourne isnt as bad as people spout off to be. Mainly cause no one has used it or seen anything done with it.

Well there are a few reasons for that IMO. Most don't have the proper environment for it, so it's easy to claim its bad cause they will more than likely not use it. Second, only your damned state mandates it lol, and lastly it's just as good, but the dry times/requirements almost add a step. Painters mock it for good reasons, but being someone that paints its something I'd like to try.
