Thanks guys. Yeah, it's going to be bright, that's for sure. Every so often I look at the orange and think maybe it's too loud, but I did want this car to be different than others I have had, so we'll see. If worst comes to worst, I'll put some 22 inch wheels on it and pick up some extra money pimpin'. lol

I really hope someone knows what is going on with the primers. I am thinking about switching back to the Dupont UroPrime system I always used (Centari) I never had any problems with it, but I have used Nasons on the last couple of jobs and had no issues there either, so I have no idea what has changed. I have never seen a gun shoot out strings of primer before like that. In the marine industry, there is a process called webbing, and they sell a product that is designed to do that. It puts that squiggly lined pattern in the interior gelcoat of fishing boats that you have probably seen. This primer was doing exactly that.

BTW, now that I have seen the frame that came out slightly glossier than I wanted, I kind of like it, and am thinking about doing the body in gloss black. A buddy of mine has a body shop, and I may have him prep and shoot the body in base coat clear coat gloss black. I still haven't ruled out the satin black, but it is one possiblility.
