Q5 is metallic right? How many coats would you say are on it?
Posted By: 6bblFLASH
Re: FinallySome Paint - 08/26/16 03:22 AM
Yes metallic
DIAMONT Base Coat
PRO SPRAY Glamour 8700 clear
4 color
4 to 6 clearcoat depending on which area.
Hood ,fender tops,sail panels have the most.
Knew I would be going for flat perfection on the horizontal surfaces .
800, 1,000 1,500 2,500 grit paper to get it that good.

Heres the mix formula.
What they looked up is *69 Dodge Charger,even tho the label say 68 Plymouth I guess thats because its what I told them I'm painting??
DIAMONT Paint/R&M.

Thanks for the paint info, really looks nice. Would you say the color looks lighter, darker or very similar to your pictures in real life?

Robert said he wanted to autograph the supercharger, but never got together.
I was bummed.
Really would have liked to meet and talk with him.

Thanks.
Heard the same remarks all day "like the color LOVE the white interior "
It's pretty much what I pictured in my mind 3 years ago.
Best non racing car day ever.
Ran and drove flawlessly 260 mile round trip , sat in traffic 45 minutes, never even tried to get hot.
