Same here.

 

I guess it saves them from a great big gigantic headache eh lol

 

Back to the paint it's up to you.The "spayable paints are very nice since you don't have to do chemestry to paint your car.Candy colors are beautifull but anytime you have to use a basecoat to determine your final color means the top coat is very transparent and can easily turn out spotty.I would only trust candy to a experienced painter,don't want to mess up alot of expensive material.

 

who's doing the painting may I ask ??? you or someone else...? and while I'm at it, have they done any before?
I spray painted for over 17 years at the FORD assembly plant and could give you a few pointers if you want....just ask...

 

I am going to spray the primer and maybe the base coat. I would always welcome pointers and tips.

Was also thinking of getting 2 or 4 ounce samples of the paint and test it first.

 

how many coats of clear can be sprayed on a car before its to much?

 

^^ Wow there's a question, I would love to know the answer too.

 

Not sure. I saw an episode of Search and Restore on Powerblock tv. They just did a restore on a 67 Mustang and did 7 coats of clear.

 

I'll type something up. and get back to you. It'll take me too long right now being a two fingered typer and all.

 

Alot of times the only reason to put 7 coats of clear on is if you plan on sanding and buffing.The least amount of material on your car the better.
