Thanks for the kind words! Yeah the paint is a bit 'loud' I was real unsure of it before we sprayed, in fact the reason I got the pearl ( that the stripes are painted with) was to cover the whole car in it over the orange, making it sort of a copper / sunset look. But after we got the first coat of orange on, I was sold.

IT has PPG Epoxy Primer Blue color 3 coats
PPG Single Stage Custom mix orange 5 coats
House of Kolors Copper Penny Pearl 5 coats
And a Clear that I forgot the name of, 5 coats.

It was my first time doing any body work, and I did it all, sprayed probably 6 guide coats while wet sanding the primer, wet sanded after the orange, before the stripes, and still have to wet sand the clear.

I did not spray the orange, stripe or clear though.

Over all, I'm real proud of the job.

Work will begin of the bird soon. A lot of disasembly, and body work soon to come!
