I tried to talk her into a set of scoops but she insists that she doesn't want any .  [This message has been edited by JimmyS (edited 01-06-2009).]

minus to you for un-bluing a blue coupe.
Just kidding, but you know it would look much better in blue! (How about Michigan State Police blue)

I thought of you when I talked to jimmy about this on the phone...
At least he is not doing the color setup he wanted to do. *shudder*
What was the damage down at finishmasters or did no not go yet?
To save some time and effort, on anything that still has smooth solid paint on it, you can merely just scuff it up with the DA, and you dont need to take it way down if you want to save some time.[This message has been edited by darkhorizon (edited 01-06-2009).]

It was not the color setup that "I" wanted to do. It was the color that "she" wanted to do. PINK! Ewwww Thank god her mother and I talked her out of it.
The total for all the materials at finishmasters, including a resperator, was just over $700.00. Keep in mind that there is enough, of the silver and the black, to do my car also. All I would need to buy is 3 quarts of the blue I want and there would be enough paint to paint my car also. We bought Dupont NASON Urethane Paint and materials.
Here is a list of what we bought...
1qt nason 483-87 2K Urethane Activator
1gal nason 421-19 2K Urethane Primer
1gal nason Ful-Base B/C Black
3qts nason Ful-Base B/C Raspberry Metalic
1gal nason 498-00 SelectClear 2K
1gal nason 441-21 Ful-Base Medium Reducer
1qt nason Ful-Base B/C Silver Metalic
2qts nason Ful-Base B/C Horizon Gray Metalic
1pt nason 483-30 Ful-Base B/C Activator
1qt nason 483-79 High-Temp Activator 2K
2qts nason Semi-Gloss Clear
3 rolls of 1/2" tape
1 roll of fine line tape
1 roll of 18" mask paper
Resperator

Let me give you a tip. if you think you are done sanding, start all over again. I painted a dressed motorcyle just a couple of days ago and I have at least 40 hours of sanding in it. I have base color down and I have 3 layers of candy and metalflake to go before clear and even more sanding.
The paint job looks and quality is 90% prep and 10% paint. Get used to sanding, it's all you will be doing on the car for the next month. (faster if you can sand 8 hours a day. I only had 2 hours each night.) also wipe it down twice with tack rags after you wash the car down in solvent to eliminate silicone and wax. I learned the hard way that tacking once does not mean it's clean.[This message has been edited by timgray (edited 01-06-2009).]

You have enough basecoat to paint 4 fieros, holy crap! 3 gallons of base! I would consider a sealer to lay that metallic over, it will help you do half wet half wet coats and see what your doing. You could also cut the basecoat you need to use down significantly too. 2 quarts of base coat got my fiero done, and then some, I even cut it a bit rich with reducer too!
Whats up with the semigloss clear?

The semi gloss clear if for the underside of the hood and decklid. I bought 2 quarts so there would be enough to do her car and my car. It is also for the underside of my hoodscoop and the center on my hood that is under the scoop.
What is this sealer stuff you mentioned? Does it go on before the primer or on top of the primer?
