Re: "The Ayatollah of Rusty Hole'a 1987 SWB 6.0 4L80E

This is 3 coats base and 2 coats pearl...hard to get a good picture of it close up, but it looks okay.

I should say that I am using TP Tools Showtime 90 PLX turbine paint system.

I only have a 20 gal compressor that is decent, but I can't keep oil and water out of the lines and I wanted to be sure the air was clean.

It was easy to get used to and Carmen at TP Tools helped me get the gun set up correctly, so I was really happy with their customer service.

Plus, so far it turned out pretty good, have a bit of orange peel in spots due to my error. But since it is just the spots where it will be hard to see once all put together, I'll chaulk it up to experience and fix the areas that are in plain sight.

Will spray the clear tomorrow.
