This will be my 3rd job and the first two went pretty well. I want to do my cobra in pearl white. I have never sprayed a tri coat job before. How do I do it? I've heard that I should walk the car. Do I walk from bumper to bumper?

Shoot the base
Shoot the pearl Shoot the clear I would do a practice panel and keep close track of the number of coats of pearl you need to get the look you want. You can do this. 1968 Coronet R/T

any metallic or pearl paint job requires you to walk the sides of the car. just practice a little with your gun and the air hose and try not to step on the air hose. be like a machine!
