Bit of a perfectionist eh cem

Keep up the good work 

trying thanks

honestly for me there are 2 reasons.. 1st I have got fed up with bodge jobs that shops do.. 2nd I need something to do in my retirement years (if I can live that long but my current health says from job to cemetery )

If i had results like that i'd be running my own spray shop 

I dont think the car's owners patience will be enough to wait me for I complete the job..
 
a single hoods paint job took several steps and days (1 day primer (10-12 layer) ,next day sanding + base color coat (7-8 layer) , next day sanding + final color coat+ clear coat next day sanding and clear coat again, + 3-4 days for sanding & polishing nearly a week in total        
 
 ps: and thats done in 34-35 celcius avg temperature .. in a colder climate multiply the time by 2

Proper spray booth would have heaters wouldnt it  Im quite positive that if i had a spray booth i could get really good results . Doing a spray job without is hard with dust and insects sticking to it

If spraying without a booth, wet down the floor etc to keep dust at a minimum, insects etc can be "polished" out once paint set

I had an excellent finish of top coat then i went back half hour later and 2 small bugs had settled on it plus 2 cat hairs  Cant really wet the floor inside the shed as ive got carpet

Yep..

Im quite positive that if i had a spray booth i could get really good results .

after few trials you can .. I learned in the same way.. and I have seen many pros still making mistakes when they are not careful like runs, flows etc etc

Doing a spray job without is hard with dust and insects sticking to it 

experiencing and sanding quite a lot of them as I also paint outside

soon it will be a painted floor 

ps: cat hairs are the least of trouble as they are long , they dont bury deep

after some problems with my lungs (lesson learned) I started using this 


its 3m paint mask which is widely used and very effective.. so I recommend it..
