Are you doing all the painting out in the open right there in your garage? |
I love the color too, i think it looks better once I sprayed it then it did on test panels. Unfortuantly I did Paint it right there in the garage. I did all my primmer work with the doors open. i shut the doors to do the color and clear, but couldnt see a damn thing it was too dark, so I opened the doors. surprisingly I had very little trash in the primmer, color or clear.

The Name: I named it "Orion's galaxy" since it is a custom mix of House of kolor's Orion silver, and Galaxy Gray it just seamed fitting.

Iv done my own mechnical work myself for years, but body worked always seamed to have some kind of voodoo to it, and nobody I knew would teach me and every painter does it diffrently. so I said screw it and just decided to do it myself. I can say this there is no voodoo involved, just patience, experience, and Technic. I believe anybody can do it. What you put into it is what you get out. I do have a new appreciation for good Body men and painters.
