I finally got my camera out to take a couple of pics on how the car is looking after two sessions of this process ( total of 4 layers of paint )

At the point of 4 layers of Fire Red paint I can still see ghost of the black primer. This was expected and is no big surprise at this point in the layering of the red paint over the black.

But otherwise the red is shiny, smooth and doing quite well.

There is a minimal amount of orange peel located on the passenger rear quarter. It will be gone following the wet sanding this evening.

The following pictures are not as good as seeing it the car live and in person. But hopefully it will share with you the results I am obtaining so far. And yes... the paint is HARD as nails at 4 coats..

The car will be baking in the sun today. Hopefully no birds will poop on it. Then it will be going back into the garage to cool the body temperature down. Then I am going to start hitting it with 1200 grit wet sanding prior to adding the 5th and 6th layer.

I can't wait to get it up to 8 or 10 layers
