Prep and paint for 2014

If you have never painted a car before,like me ,you can read all you want but until you do it you wont appreciate how hard it really is.

First safety gear. The paint suit lasted about half way through before it tore. The safety glasses didn't work at all because they fogged up fast and then of course the reg glasses also got trashed. When you take them off don't leave them in the paint booth ,mine where covered with over spray, not good.
The compressor I borrowed was still not big enough and had a hard time giving me continues volume .That is the first important item when painting or the flow will vary and so will your paint job. the second is use the water separator, I bought one and used it for the primer and first coat ,but was unable to maintain the pressure at the gun so i bypassed it for the final 2 coats to bring up the pressure, it did but it also developed a large amount of condensation . Now I have water droplets on fresh paint that i have to deal with.
This was a good learning process for me . As for the paint ,it went very well, follow the instructions careful and set aside a few hours without interruption and all will go well.
The pictures and videos are processing now and will upload as soon as they are done.
