These cars are nightmares to paint because of all the pieces that have to be painted off the car I think 15 pieces Im painting off the car front/rear bumper all ground effects door mouldings saleen wing both fenders. I have just finnished spraying everything but the front bumber with 2k surfacer and blocked everything and uncovered alot of very small low spots that Im going to put a thin coat of finish glaze on sand it smooth and reshoot the whole car agin with 2k and block agin and hopfully its all flat .

I agree but I kind of like doing it that way. Just makes it a little easier for me to control dust since I shoot in the garage.

These pictures are the last pictures I took before I rolled my car out of my garage and onto a trailer because we had to move out because the landlord had the house for sale for almost a year now and it sold about a month ago I was really trying to get the car finished painted before we had to move but couldn't. As of now every piece of the car has been epoxy primed then 3 wet coats of 2k surfacer then blocked and discovered 6 or 7 low spots put 3m finish glaze over all those spots da and blocked those areas smooth and three more wet coats of 2k surfacer

We have yet to find another house so i took my car to my grandpas house and I'm going to finish the car there I have allready bought a 10x20 enclosed canopy/garage I'm going to use to paint the car in I think I will have better results as far as trash in the paint with this canopy than I would of had in my old garage.
