Painted wifes car this weekend

So this is my wifes xmas present from me. The paint i use is in my opinion the best on the market. It's sikkens and i just switched to water born paint and it kicks ass.In the next few years every shop in the world is goint go have to use waterborn paint.Solvent what most use now will be illeagle

Started by dismounting tires from wheels, Then sand blasted them and masked for paint.


Put 1 coat of epoxy primer and allowed it to flash


3 coats of silver base over the entire wheel


Masked the part i wanted to keep silver and sprayed 3 coats of black base, followed by 2 coats of clear.



My array of $800 a piece guns


My mixing bank.




I also painted the hood but didnt take progress pics. Got everything preped and painted last night and put together this mornin.

Also pics of my paint room. Sorry for the quality their from my phone lwt mw know what you all think.

Yeah they have major issues with their water. The only 2 shops in this area that used it dropped it after 2 weeks. Give them some time and they will get it right. Sikkens has had it out for 15 years already so they have their **** together.
