Hey Blake. My plans are to have the rest of the car done professionally. I'm going to take a shot at spraying the firewall and door jams. I figure if there are any issues, they'll be harder to see. I painted a truck before with a metallic base clear and it turned out pretty good, I'm just going to take more time doing this one. When I get closer to doing the rest of the car, I'll keep you guys in mind.

Another quick update, I'm not going to use the Nexa primer...I just ended up ordering BASF's high build epoxy primer. I got a gallon of grey and a quart of black to tint the grey. Will be nice, can spray it on and block sand it. Less spraying and doing the same job. It's not cheap, but it's a good product. If anyone wants parts numbers, they are EP569 for grey, EP769 for black and PA897 for the activator. Will hope to spray the firewall again next Wednesday and will let it sit for a while.
