Beautiful man! Do you paint vehicles for a living?

I did up until about 10 years ago. Nowadays I stick to Oakleys. 30+ years of prepping/painting cars, trucks and anything thing else that came into the shop took it's toll on me physically.

I may tackle that next. Gonna paint a pair for the wife. Not sure if she would be into that though. Lol

 

[Fitchy716]

Would u say each coat of paint is equal in thickness? I mean im sure u have a method, 2-3 coats for even coverage then a light coat for one of the accent colors u want to come through?

Maybe im over thinking it. Lol

 

[Rick58]

@Fitchy716 It's kind of a make it up as I go along thing, not too heavy, not to light, no real method. Sort of a spray and pray .

 

[Fitchy716]

Lol understood!
Ill keep that in mind, i think the wife wants a colorshift paintjob instead though.

Thanks for the tips sir, much appreciated!
