A few more newbie questions as I get closer to laying down some color…

Lone Star,
I by no means am a pro, expert or authority, but I can vouch for Motocryl. So far I have painted both sides of a hood and deck lid and just this Saturday afternoon I shot both sides of the doors pictured below. I can say after upping the fluid and readjusting the fan to suit the, 3rd coat laid down like glass. The 4th coat had peel, not any worse than many OEM finishes I have seen. I did all four coats 30 minutes apart using the 30-72 Med activator and reduced 10% w/SPI 885 slow reducer. Booth temperature was 74° give or take.

I can also vouch for Chad. Being inexperienced myself, he's easy to talk to. A lot of jobbers don't know what they're talking about and others that do, talk down to you or over your head. He's not like that and I can tell you that if he is unsure he won't bullshit.

Looks really good Toolin a little peel is sometimes best
Nice Work and door stand too
What sealer did you use and color
What gun are you spraying it with?

Thanks!
1-coat SPI white epoxy mixed 1:1+25% as a sealer, let cure overnight. Had to fix one fisheye in the morning.

Color is BMW Alpine Weise III, code 300

Gun is a Deviblis Prolite, it sprays well with SS and epoxy unreduced and reduced
1.4 Tip, T10 cap, 32 PSI at the gun with trigger pulled, 100 PSI at the wall.
For SS, Fluid 3 turns out from closed, Fan 5/8 turn out from closed.

Forgot to mention, Motocryl covers really well.
