Hey good luck to you. I have been reading about doing your own body work and Im going to give it a try. From what I know it sounds like your thru the worst of it, congrats and keep us posted, what color you going with? I must have changed my mind at least 10 times and I still have 10 months tell I pick up mine.

Color will be 1996 Porsche metallic iris blue with Wimbledon white stripes.Have about 40 hrs in the body work blocking and spraying 3 gal Slick Sand .Put body back on today just to check how everything fits and then it off to the painter.

Wow, 3 gallons sounds like a lot.
How many coats is that?
Or said another way, how much does it take to put 3 wet coats on?
I'm spraying today if all goes well.

3 gallons does sound like a lot, unless you're sanding in between coats. I used a little under 2 gallons for 3 coats, sanded, then resprayed just a couple small areas.

3 gal. holy cow!!! Used 1 gal on mine, and its as straight as an arrow.

[JUST RICK]

A lot of the Slick Sand ended up on the driveway but it's straight as a arrow now.
