two different shades of blue dunny! Did u get two even good coats of base on there or did u mix different ratios? I think it needs some attention did u walk the car when u sprayed or u did panel by panel? Maybe its the pix but it looks rough dude o yea is the base pearl or metalic if either it could be that touch up gun u used to spray holla back at the kid!

Thats the pic. The driver side came out even compared to the passenger side. I only had about 1 quart of paint left when I went to go spray the rest of the car. I should have gotten more paint, I dont know why I didn't.

what polish and glaze would you recommend..?

The fender and door comment : thats the pic, thats the glare.

Updates???

Since the passenger side came out really patchy and no way even..i'm doing it over on tuesday. gonna pick up some more paint with right after work today or eary tuesday morning and doing that over, along with the side skirts. I think I might as well do the driver side too if I have enough paint left (which I think I should). I'm making sure that the spray pattern is correct before I go spraying.

SO

Today I:

-Picked up some more paint
-Picked up some 3M Imperial polisher and Glaze.
-Painted driver and passenger sides over
-Cleared both sides





...and some rain-x

I should have done that in the first place

I'm sick of wet sanding...i'm basically losing hope..I'm just frustrated with the whole thing. This is the last week i'm working on it. whatever happens, happens. I'm giving it to the professionals when I get the chance. I can paint small things like bumpers, lips, mirrors, etc...but i'm never painting a whole car again.

Thanks to those following this thread and thanks for your support, it was greatly appreciated.

When the paint is in decent shape again..and I have pics that are worth posting, i'll throw them up. Thanks again.

dont lose hope dude...
