Yay!
I love the color sooooo much! It looks awesome in the sunlight. It glows. Even at night the candy color looks so sweet. It feels so great to finally be done. Does anybody get the vanity plate...

This is what you should do: DA the car with 320grit. Then reprime it with a 2 part urethane primer. I used Omni brand 2K primer (ppg). 2 coats of that and you'll be straight as far as priming it go...

Ditto. He's absolutely right. I do bodywork for my living, and the only time you need to strip to metal is paint peeling or if theres more than 3 paint jobs on the car. Even still it'd be best to s...

I just had to take out my alarm system. If you've got the same thing, it's up under the driver's side dash. Look up under there for a bundle of wires with a 10v fuse. Take off the plastic cover of ...

Well if you've done body work, and you just prime the areas you've worked in with 3 coats, then those areas are going to be three coats taller than the areas you don't paint. Think of it like a pyram...

There is absolutely NO reason to take it to bare metal and you'd be a fool to do that. You'd open up the possibility of rust and you'd be wasting A LOT of time to sand 3 or 4 layers of paint off.

For the red with silver, you could spray a straight red color and put some silver in the clear coat. That would look pretty cool and be custom.
