I found if I didn't have the proper booth lighting I was having to stop spraying and step back and look at it from a different angle to see how wet the paint was. Too dry or too wet and starting to run you can't always see it as you're spraying it if you're just doing it in your garage or outside. Every time you pause you lose the flow . True Candy apple is a two-step process so now you're having to spray the car twice. Once for the silver, and the second time for the clear red. If it's just metallic red then that's not an actual candy apple color. I urge you to let a pro do the final painting. If you do a search, you can find some U DO IT body shops where they have the guy in the booth doing the painting but you do all the sanding and masking and trim removal yourself. They usually Supply the paint so they make some money on the materials as well . Try to use one of those services and you'll be a lot happier. Remember once the car is painted you're going to look at it every day.</p></blockquote><p></p>
