Shot the base today...
 

well i sprayed my base today and i had some troubles...i got specks almost everywhere on the car...with some good help from SHADY i got her looking good. The paint colour looks awsome, its black but its almost got some pearl to it, i love it...we shall see how it looks when the clear hits it...i washed it after colour sanding it and under water it looks like glass so im hoping it will be half as good with clear!
thanks alot man! i owe ya a beer or two :)

heres a shot of the troubled area and then after i fixed it...

what paint did you use??? i want to do something like yours but with alsa black chrome...

that looke better then some of my other paint jobs, keep it up.

that looks great Skully. You did some good prep work on that car.

hahah 81 BlackLE...ok ok ill get more, actualy im about to go clearcoat it so ill take a few shots after too...

the colour is: Viper Black <--(For speed :P) 1996 and up, Chromabase DuPont.

appreciate the kind words you guys i know it looks fugly :P

Oh sure it's not the super glossy show car shine yet but you can tell from the condition of the surface that you did a great job. Just do a good job with the clear and that paint job will be spot on. It does look great skully. You can really tell you put some time into the prep work.

must be the canadian in him !!!! both our cars look good, and we are both drivin zeds that we painted ourselves, not to toot my own horn or anything. keep the pics coming skully. do us proud!!

well i dunno hahah i just shot my 3rd coat and gotta run in it, eek.!!! hah

ah wow, i wish my base came out that nice, i painted it myself also and i was doing alright till i got to the clear coat
i have like 50 cagillion runs in it, but they're not thaaat noticeable so i'm sure you'll be fine, maybe you can even sand em down? i haven't tried yet...

oh man im not leaving it with runs!!
yes ill wetsand it so there is no runs, then put another 2-3 coats of clear on...:) but thats for next day ill let it dry out good so i can wet sand it...oh im not done yet..no siree bob!
