Emron. It's an industrial paint. Work's well, gets really hard and it's single stage

Thank you! I couldn't have done it without my buddy willie's help. He has a lot of talent. With him doing the chassis and me on the body we have made pretty quick progress.

I believe it is 1800. It's whatever the stage 2 kit comes with from bow tie overdrives. I don't remember for sure.

Funny, No I don't do anything harder than Bud Light . I just shot a bunch of the clear Imron last year. That stuff will literally wreck your lungs if not using proper gear. I did a lot of research before I painted with it though.

Thank you guys. All the compliments are appreciated, it helps me think I made some good choices on things. Although with these quality parts from Porterbuilt, accuair, sloshtubz etc it makes it alot easier. I cannot wait to drive this thing.
