Re: Painting my car,

Get a tech data sheet from the manufacter on mixing ratios.
Pearls can be tough, try a 75% overlap instead of 50.
Its only paint, you can do it over again if you screw it up,, but that gets expensive.
Try to spray it all at once and walk the car so it stays uniform.
Good luck.
