thanks EMD.. finally today my stress end up..
 
spent many hours.. so had to be good.. cant do it again.. but honestly paint jobs depends also on a bit of luck..
 
even the dusts create problem.. although paint cabins are relatively clean.. not as clean as I desire

Hopefully you wont have to now with the epoxy on it , only in your summer will you know if it will survive the intense heat  if it does not survive you can always have an omega cabriolet

this scratch resistent laquer is better than the original laquer.. I estimate it will keep up at leat 6-7 years.. And I'm not sure I will keep this car that long.. so the buyer will be lucky

for those interested in scratch resistent laquer application:
 
its applied with late hardener 3:1 ratio.. (3 laquer 1 hardener by volume)
 
no thinner added.. but still dries very late and can easily flow..
 
for that reason a pre application for original color coat must be applied to close the surface before actual painting session..
 
 
must be applied before the last paint coat dries .. then 2 layers of tiny "dusting" of laquer .. wait 15-20 minutes (this is in cabin temp of at least 30-35 celcius.. then heavy slow spraying of last coat until the surface become mirror like..

You will have the best looking roof in Ankara , dont think we have seen your car since being sprayed silver ? Will be good to see how it looks now its all done , almost  i mean providing your arms are strong enough to open the door now

man well done! that's one hell of alot of work for a clit, to stop the dust and overspray settling do you not leave the ventilation fans running in the paint cabin whilst drying?

ventilation fans are stopped after few minutes.. we need to stop because we have to apply heat for some time.. but specific to this laquer case (as I'm afraid of that it can flow at higher temperatures) we apply only 20 minutes.. and then the car stayed in the cabin until next day morning.. I always prefer to take appointment for the last car painted, otherwise you can never guess what will happen when you take a freshly painted car outside..
 
car now is initially sanded (morning) , waited another day under sun and polished night time.. dusts ( a few) are removed..
 
now will wait for 10-15 days for the paint to loose its gloss which means surface hardened and dried completely  then will be polished again..
