No on 5/27 I posted a picture with two coats. I sanded with 400 than sprayed 4 coats in one session waiting 20 - 25 min between coats except the last coat I waited 5 min.
 
Does cutting the last coat flash time down to 5 minutes cause it to lay better? I always wait the full flash time cause I'm worried about running it.
 
Barry once told me to spray the last coat back to back. I used to do that but forgot on the last couple I sprayed. I think it does flow out better for me. I waited around 5 min since I was only spraying the fenders. If it had been the body I would only have stopped long enough to mix more clear.
 
Jimmy the owner of the Shelby saw it last night for the first time and was very happy with the color in person. He wanted a dark green so I sprayed it over black epoxy. I have known Jimmy James about 6 years and he has a band and they were playing last night in New Port Richey so after the show he came by the shop. We never left until 12:15 this morning but he is very happy with the results.

Thanks Chad for the Pro Spray
 
Looking forward to seeing that one done-it's going to be nice for sure! Universal clear?
 
Rusty, I see the Fairlane in the backround, Is it all red now or just the cowl/fenders?
 
Arent they all though. I look at this site just about eveyday to see the awesome work done by the guys on here. Every car makes me drool.
