Day 6.5-Tasty green paint.

Hi again, today i test painted a panel with the green. Here are a some pics.

first i painted the pci covers and a small peice that i thought i would throw into the mix.


primered


coat of black


and done


looks fine


Prep work took like 3 hours, had to bring everything i need outside sand it all down and mask it off.


masking it off sucked


very smooth though


primered


going good so far


alright heres where everything went to hell. one of the cans of black base for the mirage has a hole in the back of the nozzle and sprays two streams, one out of both the nozzle and behind it. i didnt no this until i was actualy spraying the first layer and it got ugly drips all over the top...


after sanding as well as i could


im just going on your barely going to see this peice anyway


first color coat on


barely any green yet


second coat of color


starting to look shimmery


third coat


still kinda weak color transition


a few coats later


still not what i want


alright this is after like 8+ coats i lost count


now its starting to pick up effect


no clearcoat on yet im hoping that brings it out more


going to have to let it dry overnight before i sand and clearcoat tomorow


Alright thats all for now im going to lap my true over tonight and tomorow morning so ill have a update on that and the finished paint job tomorow morningish.

Thanks for watching! ^_^
