Re: best steps for three foot deep paint job

I seen that same episode, but it was on Spike TV.. they painted a door RED. The same color red was used on both doors. One was Base coat / clear coat. Looked fine, it was red, no surprise there, and it had a nice shine to it. The second door was 100% base, then like 80 , 60, 40, 20 then strait clear... the panel looked 10x better. I was asking a painter at work and he said if you ever have to repair that panel, its gonna be difficult to match w/o painting the entire side. He said a paint job like that is like candy... (repair wise).
