Oh to have such a clean room to paint in  

I painted in a lot of hole in the wall " paint booths" before we bought this brand new global booth. It has made my life so much easier.

Thanks!  The color is about half way between sublime and sassy grass. The car was originally fe5 red, but the lady that owns it wanted green and this is what she picked out. Awesome color.

Thanks fellas ! I will post more pics tommorow after it gets all of its panels back on. A little buffing and some hood paint and that will about round out the week. the paint came out really clean and slick. It's single stage with clear.

Brian, simply beautiful work! Looking forward on the finished product.
Why single-stage? For ease of future touch-up? Cost?
What brand of paint/clearcoat do you use and the price per gallon?

I like to use single stage acrylic urethane on solid colors with clear for the depth it provides. It looks very deep. The paint we use on it is U-tech which is a akzo Nobel product. With a acrylic urethane clear. Another reason we like to do it this way is that you can do the engine compartment ,trunk under side of the hood etc. with the single stage and not need to clear it, then when you paint the outside its sure to match.

Guys, I saw the engine compartment when it was painted - very deep with how Brian explained!!

Looks nice
