Dave, is that the Nason paint on there? If so it looks damn good for a budget line paint! Can't wait to see the final result.....outstanding so far.
Yes its nason ful base B/C and select clear 498-00.
I had the panels dry blocked to 400 grit on a urethane surfacing primer and I decided to go for it without sealer. So I sprayed the base with no sealer, rolling the dice a bit...
I soon found that pigment wise I was fine, but there is no film build to this base, absolutely no filling/building properties. So I ended up shooting 3 coats of color to help bridge the 400 grit cross cut sanding scratches, then I also put 3 coats of clear on.
Its going to work out fine and for the sake if consistency I will finish the rest if the truck the same way.
I will use this topcoat package on my next project, but I will use a sealer next time.
I don't want to mislead anybody into thinking they will make this shine with these products right out of the gun, it doesn't quite work that way.
Take the time of a base clear paint job and multiply x 2.5 for the time some poor bastaerd has to wet block and buff it all. Lol!
But, its worth it.
Like I told Nathan yesterday, you can't come this close to full blown awesome and just say "this is good enough".
