Not too bad. Props on all the work you guys put in and that is awesome that you have all that at your disposal. It looked like you may have had too many working at times in the pics and that may be the cause of some of the paint blemishes. Looking forward to seeing your finished product.

guys for your first paint job your doing great .

That spot on your fender is a common problem when painting cars and it has happened to me on my last paintjob , which by the way I did at home in my garage.

I hope you havent clear coated it yet because it is a really easy fix, just let it dry well and sand it lightly with some 400 grit , than coat it again with your base coat it should be gone, if not repeat untiul gone, it is well worth it to try to remove that spot as it will definitely show up after the clear coat.

Anyways car is looking great and good luck thansk for sharing

From that last pic, it does not look like you are getting good coverage with the base as some others have pointed out. There is mottling where the paint is not uniform thickness, and that will show through the clear as well.

You need to get enough base on the car in even coats, or the car will never look right. It will look splotchy, and once the clear is on, there is no way to fix it.
