Re: Just got done painting a 240

Yeah, I didn't see the light metallic in my paint when I did it until I got it out in the sun. I thought they gave me the wrong paint at first.

Painting is a lot of work. I'm real anal about details so it took me about 25 hours of light ding repair, prep, sanding and painting to get it all done. Another hour to buff it out after I had color sanded it. This is painting the stock blue color on my car and not doing any jambs or underhood work. Two coats of base coat and three coats of clear. I wouldn't want to do it for others, I'd lose my ass.
