I’m a big fan of not thinking. Painting single stage white.how bad can it be?

I held a lamp in my left hand during the spraying of my El Camino. Only one run where I tripped over the hoist arm with finger on the trigger. Sand and respray was all. Lucky though, it was on the rocker panel.
Of course, where I dragged my corrugated supply air hose across the quarter panel, a bit more drastic measure was used.
WTH, it works for skimming Bondo on.................

I can tell you that getting consistent coverage with white single stage is tricky, especially if you cut and buff. Four coats minimum. DAMHIK….
Do a spray out if you have any spray out cards….

Ha......see them low spots from the corrugated hose? Well, they be filled right quick with that spreader and paint.
I did end up spraying a bit as well after sanding. Forgot about that til just now.

Do you use the checkerboard black and white cards?

I have the PPG ones that go from white to black in several horizontal stripes.

I'm with crash
Suck down a tall boy or 2 and knock the edge off...and don't sweat anything about the process...it's just paint. If u have made it to the stage of spraying paint. Well then you can redo anything up to this point. Anything you have done you can do it again. That applies to much more than painting cars. Good luck.

SS white, Very easy. Like crash said, the second and additional coats can be harder to see but it’s not too bad. Spray Lots of overlap and minimum 4 coats.
Plan your spray order, start from the highest places and move to the lowest places. And urethane retarder helps a lot when doing a complete like that to keep a wet edge of it’s over 80 degrees.
The most stressful part for me is coat four. Because that typically means I’ve nailed coat 3 and it’s beautiful and perfect, so the pressure is on to make coat 4 a winner too and not scrape an arm through it. My paint instructor always used to tell me “control the paint, don’t let it control you. It’s just paint.”
