it looks a bit streaky, cos i got bout 3/4 through the first coat and the spray gun packed it in :( but 3 more coats will go on the car

if i was you i'd rub down that dodgey bit of the first coat with some 400 wet and start over.. You can never fix the finish of dry paint so it is best to block it back and redo those bits..

400's a bit much 600 wet will sort it just fine ;)

ok so if i was to get a respray down the track you would highly reccommend 2pac over acrylic?

2 pack is a harder wearing paint. Acrylic marks very easy but is easily touched up ;)

ok so if u were looking to respray the whole car would you say a 2pac job would be about double the cost of an acrylic job>?

If not more maybe triple or quadruple the cost. 2 pack paint with all the extras you need aint cheap.

its only streaky cos i barely got one coat down before the gun stuffed up :(

i also thought you need to bake 2 pac paint, where as acrylic is air drying

i have a new gun and can assure you it will be finished before tuesday night!! ready for the mini meet
