Even the painted paper looks better than most cars.

Color is awesome, what is it?

PPG water based E2335 British Racing Green. Very close to stock colour code 240 but more metallic and a bit lighter.

So what did you do different to get it to lay down?

Better fan pattern and air control. Plus I laid it down a lot thicker than the last time and still had no runs.

What was better? Thicker is good as long as your catalyst isn't too slow

Found a run I didn’t see last night. It’s in the green so, oh well...

I mixed 4:1 as per the directions. I just laid a thicker pass than the last time I sprayed clear. Especially the final coat.

Did the inside edges of the drivers side fender tonight. Took three hours to sand, mask, clean and paint/clear just those edges... slow process.
But I think it came out very nice!

Is that a catalyzed paint (i.e. hardener mixed in)?

Oh my... So happy with the finish!

Water based. Once it air dries it is done. Not sure if there is any form of catalyst as there is no odour at all. Only use a mask for particles as there is no organic vapour risk.
The paint comes pre-mixed and requires nothing other than spraying. Then a regular catalyzed clear coat on top.
