True dat! Too busy painting everyone elses stuff...lol.

I wanted to try out the hot rod flatz paint, i've heard good things about it. Let me know how well it covers.

I hope it covers good. I'm gonna seal my truck first so it's all one color and then we will see how well it does.. it says it does 16-18 seconds on a viscocity cup so it's not super thin.... but it doesn't have alot of solids per gallon? So I dunno... I got my fingers crossed...

Well it's blue...

I fucked up and pulled a lazy ass and panel painted the first coat .. so there's dark spots at the door gaps. Dumbass rookie mistake.. But I'm used to regular basecoat and being able to dust coat it.. But... It'll work.. This stuff covers pretty good.. Especially for the price... It smells just like HOK..

Ya i figured you would base it in a single color first...so what your sayin is that you should have "walked the truck" like you were shooting Kandy?

Dunno if you should be so hard on yourself, I may have done the same thing...lol.

Looks good nonetheless!
