just ordered my paint

well i just oredered a bunch of stuff from house of kolor (autobody depot)
bc04 strato blue with UK05 Cobalt blue candy, and ground affects will be platnium pbc42. i got the kk cobalt which is a one step paint that mimicks candy for the jams and engine bay, hope that it matches some what it should.

i also ordered another devilbis gun for the clear coat they tell me i need to continue spraying and won't have time between candy and clear to clean the gun so switch to gun2.

so all in all about $1300 with primers and reducers ect ect.

anyone have some tips for painting this stuff

just a reminder of what it looks like now.

Thanks Jeff

didn't feel i need to go any further, i sanded until i found areas that were well adhered<s>. the spots that went to metal were not holding very good. and sanding the entire car with 80g on a da i would expect would not be that great for all bare metal. more highs and lows to work out.

atleast that is my thought. maybe someone can tell me if i am wrong before i epoxy prime, and high build prime the car next week.
