Re: 1st coat
I read some where that when using an HVLP gun, if you set your inlet air pressure to 50psi, the paint will be a shade lighter. I sprayed at 40psi and it was a shade darker than the color chip. That was what I was hoping for anyway. Keep in mine that I also used about 20% reducer in addition to the urethane activator. Made for a nice flow and that might be the reason for the darker shade.
special-K.....I have the 5 lug rallys waiting in the wings. Plan on doing the axle and disk swap after this paint thing is finished.....

That is what I figured, I just can't believe that some people go thru all the work and don't take the doors and body panels off. It really shows the quality and attention to detail. Great lookin paint job

Re: 1st coat
Thanks....but still things to do. I'm going to be changing the Hedman Jet Hot coated headers for some Hooker comp headers and I want to put in new exhaust. I'll NEVER use Hedman again!! Then a 700r4 tranny that's waiting in the wings.
