Looks good from what I can see. What kind of sprayer did you use, have any problem with runs or orangepeel? Did you spray it outdoors?

I sprayed it right where you see it , on the side of the road , I don't have a garage or even a driveway unfortunately.

I am a refinisher by trade so I do a lot of spraying, there isn't really any orange peel but I really wish I would of given it another coat of clear.

I gave it a couple light coats, and then a heavy coat, I wanted to give it a third very wet coat but my neighbors were all out watching me and it already looked good so I decided to pack it in.

Ill take some close up photos tomorrow.

Oh and in terms of sprayer I used a portable HVAC.

Wow, that turned out great. Did you have any over spray get on the rest of the body anywhere? Did you get many "fish eyes" in the finished product since it was done outside?

thanks buddy

fish eyes no , but is it as smooth as the factory finish, ehhhh not exactly.

But only a trained eye would be able to spot it , im very hard on my own work and Im quite happy with it.

When spraying outside you just need to worry about dust particles , so try to choose a day that isn't very windy and you should be fine.

and no I did a good job of taping off and I didn't have any issues with overspray which was great
