It looks great, btw, I know first hand about critters in the paint (still have one or two I need to buff out of my son's paint). I have had another fun problem with sweat building up on me and dripping on the paint. If you wear coveralls hood and resporator it gets HOT. keep the pics rolling!

Yes, just the least expensive acrylic enamel single stage. I usually shoot base/clear, but it is so large, I didn't want to spend the time or money.

Hey, I totally understand. I have used Nason single stage for cheap pJs for years. I usually go with the uerethane enamel, it's bullet proof for the most part. It sands and buffs nice too when you get the signature marks. The acrylic works good too, but I usually don't do panels like you are doing. So I have issues of dry spots or overspray with it. You have the right idea. Nice work!

Painting a little at a time is so low stress and helps me feel good about checking things off the list. If I have a setup problem, I only have to fix a few panels. When I get a run, it is limited because I am only painting a little. I don't wig out over 1 run. Painting an entire car and I get 7 runs, then I am frustrated and swear I'll never paint again (ask me how I know). Plus this thing is a Monster, I couldn't paint it all at once if I wanted to - They don't make poly booths that big!

Funny you should ask, mrchrishill, I have a few ideas up my sleeve but I haven't fully worked them out yet.
