Looks like that guy is doing a nice job. I can see on some of his pics orange peel, which is expected when using straight from the can.

The gloss looks about the same (which is good), but I am not sure why it has taken him 6 coats when applying it full strength. From my one rolling experience, and one spraying experience, brightside covers well even when thinned. The gray of the primer under the single sprayed coat on my car is barely visible.

I had some natural light on the car today and found a funny area in the driver's door, so I fixed that and primered it, so I'll probably have to put another 2-3 coats on that door but only 1 more on the whole car, thinned around 15% with mineral spirits.



He mentioned that with more wetsanding, he may have eliminated almost all the orange peel.

I am also not sure why he did over 6 coats... I was thinking the paint was too thin straight from the can or perhaps he was wetsanding too much.

Can't wait to see the finished brightside exit.
