Well I figured I'd get some more practice in and that red trunk lid that you saw a couple of posts ago,I painted it black.Now it's never going to be as nice as a base-clear job,but it's certainly good enough for a very nice driver if your willing to put the time in.

The only thing I did different besides sand a little more,is instead of using a foam roller I went with a velour roller as suggested.It cuts down on bubbles,and goes on very smooth.Just be careful because it absorbs more paint then the foam so don't press to hard when rolling or squeeze some out before painting.

It just needs a little more polishing,but I went through two 6" bonnets already.
