My first try at painting.

[Waffles]

Well I decided to take my spare hood and try my hand at painting.

Before:



After the first coat(still drying and not wet sanded)




First coat wet sanded





Next coat(fucked up thinned it down to much and had some deep scratches from wet sanding with to low of a grit.)





More to come as the day goes on

More pics added of the next coat

You see in the close up pic of the wet sanding, how some looks white, while other deep spots are still black. Keep wet sanding.

That part should of been taken care of during priming. You shouldnt have bumps like that with only one coat.

I normally wet sand till perfect during primer.

4 coats of paint, then wet sand, then clear coat.

Thanks for the advise...like I said, this is my first try.

Any other advise from anyone else is very welcome.

I will most likely knock it all back down with the orbital after this coat dries.
