NASON is a very good lower end product.. I used to work plenty with it... the car looks sweet.. is the garage at your house? if so, did you had painting smells in the house or did you do something to prevent that?

Well the painted it was at my moms my garage is to small. That the next money pit saveing up for a 3 car . Hers is not attached to the house. When i was sparying the clear it got pretty foggy.And yeah I like the nason for the price u can not beat it. The base is a little thin but it covered ok. And the clear flowed out real nice did not get one run or anything. This is the 2nd car i painted base clear have done about 8 with single stage. But I'm likeing the B/C way.

yes.. you have 2 different clears in NASON.. one is a high build that will become very, very flat as you spray it, making almost no orange peel but it is a bit yellowish once you're done with it... the other one is very thin, very watery but stays more transparent... I don't remember the numbers of the series, haven't work with them in more than a year

lol yeah I had the one that was real real watery. But but it laid out real nice wet sanded both sides today looks really good all the dirt that was init came out.So i was very happy. I pu about 5 coats of clear on and took off about 11/2 to 2. But that stuff was really thin I'm glad i did not get any runs. And for being only the 2nd car i have painted with B/C and a super dirt garge it came out pretty good

if you want my advice on painting in such a garage.. next time take the car out ofthe garage and spray the floor with water, to keep it wet... the best thing would be to do the walls as well but I doubt your mom would enjoy that that way the dirt will be heavier and you wil have less of it on the clear coat... though it will be very humid but hey.. that's part of being ill equipped and trying to do a quality job...

keep the good job

Yeah i did water done the floor but it dried up pretty fast.The walls that would not be good. I blew them off the best i could. y biggest thing was wind blowing in stuff and bugs.lol after every coat was staying fly kill. Man fly love the smell of paint and thinner. Thanks for the info When i get my garage built next summer going to make a side just for painting that is in closed with a vent fan.I should have painted at the shop i work at we have a down draft with a baker but did not feel like towing it up there than if something happen the boss would be pissed
