First paint went on yesterday. here's a shot of the hood all sanded and cleaned with mineral spirits.



Paint in pan ready to go.



Here's the first coat . It went on just like all the posting on the internet said, but man! there were alot of bubbles! I got rid of them by blowing on them, and eventually figured out the correct roller speed (slow!) to keep them from forming.



In this shot below, you can see some of the sanded areas still visible under the first coat. All the walk throughs for the roller method, say you don't need primer over the bare metal. Hope so!



Heres the second coat on the hood, I just finished it up this morning. Hopefully I can wetsand and get another coat on tonight.
