With work, birthday's, and pulling a muscle in my back, I haven't made much progress in the last couple of weeks. I decided to work on a little light duty project Sunday, so I shot some color on my overhead console.

I love the look of the Candy color, but what a pain. Two coats of silver base and 4 coats of Candy color. Shooting the body parts may be interesting, to say the least. Even the angle to the light gives a different shade appearance.

With so many pockets and areas that are hard to paint as a complete assembly, I don't see any way to remotely get an even color coverage unless you shoot apart. I've thought of maybe shooting three coats on the individual parts, wet sand, and shoot the final coat as an assembly. I've also tried to find a similar color in a single coverage paint that was close, but I did not find any that I liked as well. Feel free to chime in! Any advice is welcome!
