Excellent work. I've painted my calipers but that take patience and skill!

so I've redone these things about 4 times, kept messing up on the clear coat. clear coat was a High-solids urethane I had gotten at a local auto paint supply shop. ran through the first quart I had gotten and went back to the store. mentioned to the guy the issues I was having. he says, it sounds like your pressure is too high. I had it set to the specs it said on the paint companies web site for an HVLP gun. so we looked and and the specs on their site were wrong. I had been shooting about 3X the pressure I should have been.
I'm sure that any paint pro would have know this at first site, but an amateur like me, I just went with what it said.

in any case, last redo with the proper settings looks great.





also did a gaming computer case for a friend.
