Miscellaneous bits
Everything was sprayed in the same session using three booths. Two coats of clear, allowed to dry a couple days, sanded open, allowed to gas off for a couple more days, then resprayed with two more coats of clear.

I wanted to used House of Colors clear for this job but was talked out of it by the shop owner.
He suggested their Sikkens production clear for reasons that they have everything available "IF" something were to go upside down. Plus painters are familiar with it and there would be no concerns with compatibility to the base. It turned out awesome and the Sikkens is a great product. The choice did however come back to bite me in the color sanding and polishing process. I'll get into that in the next chapter of the Green Bastard !! Gary

Doors and Trunk lid back on for the ride home.
Painter (Bill) and a Bodyman (Bryant) admiring the job. The car made a little stir in the shop that week, guys were impressed with the work. Truth is they were waiting on the trailer to get this thing out of their hair (well at least in Bryant's case anyway).
