well today didn't really go as planned, got the first few layers of base coat down but there are a few places that I was to heavy on the paint or to light on the paint, its really hard to get into some of the places in the bay even with a detail spray gun so what I think I'm going to do is do a few heavy coats let it dry then wet sand down the base coat a little then apply more base coat to get the color right then I will see where I want to go from there, if I like what I see then I will start the candy layer

got the sags in the base coat sanded down yesterday then sprayed a few layers to get the color right and I'm satisfied with the way it looks, so now I'm prepping the candy layer. the concentrate says a maximum of 5 grams of concentrate per qt (32oz) so I mixed 2.5 grams with 16oz but I was seeing little un-dissolved specs in the mix so I went with 2.5grams per 20oz of clear and it's looking really nice mixed. I'm sure once I add the reducer and activator that it will be well dissolved into the clear. I have a little while before the base coat is cured enough to be cleared so I'm just getting ready till then here are a few pics of the candy, its blood red candy.
