Big G, your car is gorgeous! The body and paint are too good to be true. I probably wouldn't be doing any touch ups, I don't have regular access to spray equipment.

So I'm told that candies are extraordinarily hard to spray. I've been told it's easy to make them look blotchy, is this true? Any advice? Warnings?
The mid stage colors are translucent, as they get more saturated (darker) with each pass of the gun. This is what makes touch-ups and blends impossible. If the gun is not set up perfect and/or the painter is not "on his game" there will be mottling, tiger stripes etc. in the finish. Looks like crap when done. Great looking when properly executed, but there are drawbacks.
