I'd like a good uniform finish that would last for a couple of years and not appear like it came out of a rattle can. I have painted a few cars in the past, but color sanding and polishing let me get away with a few "uh-oh's". Since this was a one shot deal, I just want to make sure it wasn't much more difficult to lay down.

The body is pretty good, but I will keep in mind what you said particularly since the car will be shot in black.

As for humidity, I'm in Las Vegas so I can get pretty dry days to paint. I should be safe with that.

If I do use BC/CC, do I have to flatten the clear myself or does the PPG come pre-flattened? The reason I ask is, if I have to add flattener myself, is there a good formula out there to get the correct "satin" look?

Thanks, again!
