ill let the pictures talk for themselves, i apologize the lighting is the greatest.
im very satisfied with the paint and body, i havent seen any ripples in the body yet. paints a little dirty from lack of a booth but wetsanding and buffing will take care of all of it.

Thanks Wayne. I found myself staring at it for most of the day. I can't wait to buff it and put the trim on.

somedays life gives you lemons, otherdays you get kicked in the cahones by an mma fighter....

today i started stripping the anodizing and polishing my trim, which went quite well. after lunch i thought id push the car out in the sun and snap a few pictures. no sooner did i get the car out in the sun than i realized my worst nightmares. the pearls are all cloudy down both sides of the car. if you look at the pictures where there are light and dark layers of different shades of primer, thats where all the pearls are goofy. apparently my sealer didnt work for me and the basecoats soaked or something. today felt like the worst day ever. on top of the paint being odd, well, i dont know what to do about a respray. i cant leave it how it is, its just not good enough for the work i put in. i dont have enough of the pearl to shoot it and the parts for the engine bay and interior pieces i wanna spray, and i doubt ill be able to mix it correctly since i didnt save the mix( because i mixed way more than should have been enough, even for a touch up, just not an overall touch up) so im starting to look at other color options.

anybody know of any good teal/aqua colors? im strongly considering bermuda blue metallic like was on alot of tahoes, avalanches and chevy pickups.

any suggestions id very much appreciate, im pretty much lost.

Sorry to hear this happened . Do you think you could bring a small panel to a paint dealer or body shop and see if they can check it. Maybe you could spray what you have on the outside and have them mix some for the inside where the difference might not be obivous ? I don't know if I amagining it but don't they have a scanner that can match paint ?
