Sorry to hear about your paint problems, damn shame. I feel confident you'll square it up!

I use that PPG for most of the stuff I shoot and never had the issue you're reporting. I'm wondering if you hadn't mixed it well enough when you first started? In any case, easy fix to scuff and shoot it all in place.

Got some taping done.

Pretty funny- I saved all the openings plastics, thinking this a thing that might be useful! So at least I didn’t have to redo all the doors, front shield, roof, and tailgate plastic.
Better to be lucky than smart!!

Are you not hanging the doors for the second go?
Im very far from a P&B guy but typically they have that all hung for the final go I thought?

Yes, going to hang the doors. Then take them off to remove all the tape and then hang again.

Got to sanding- yuck
Frown to a smile
-got rid of all the nibs, lots of them. All ready for the next batch
- fixed a bunch of dings that really showed up after paint- got the bondo out
- found constellations of bondo pin holes- more bondo
- used black caulking to get the front fenders all sexy, but when it dried and got painted it had shrunk creating gaps that were no good.
Fixed ‘em. As well, did some more sealing on the top of the d pillars.
This is driving me to even more drinking!

Are you using automotive seam sealer? I would think you would use self-leveling for the roof gutters and heavy bodied for everything else....but I'm not even close to an expert on this subject. Pretty sure 3M is the go-to brand.

Talked with the painter today and as I think back, I used two different guns to paint. Hence the two tints.
Ahhh
Second gun was way more easy to use, but I like the color that the first gun put down.

Plausible but unlikely you would see that much of a difference, if I was betting I would say the paint didn't get stirred enough and the heavy solids settled to the bottom and you applied just the cream on the top for one batch then heavy on the solids for the remaining coats.

That really sounds the most plausible.
What ever color comes out of that gallon is the color it will be.
Can’t say I am not bummed about it. That creamy green was sick!

I'd like to pause for a moment to applaud that plausible idea.

Anyone had any dealings with the cruiser electric guy- does the switches and such, Cruiser Matt?
Having a time getting in touch with him.
Having a time getting in touch with him.
Nice enough guy, I’ve bought a few things but I did have to get a little nasty when i couldn’t get expensive item I had ordered or any response about it.
We talked and he was extremely apologetic, he even called me at 11:30 at night during the conversation, but I’ve seen where he drops off the radar on occasion. From my dealings I’m curious if there may be some mild mental illness (seems manic at times then disappears) like bipolar disorder. I have ordered smaller items from him since for my pig with no issues and would use him again as he does have some nice things.
