Wet sand with 500 and the money coats. Motocryl is nice paint. Now for the box. And getting it to my house.

One thing to note I am using ultra slow activator and replacing the 10% reducer with 10% retarder as the metal temp is 100F plus. Takes about 10 minutes to flash and have a skin so bugs won’t stick. I blow an air hose over the panel so the bugs can’t land on it for the first 5 minutes.

MUCH harder with metallic. Won’t do another one of those, especially since I’m never restoring another vehicle.
 
Oh and since it is monsoon season my compressor started spitting water while DAing the cab.... sucks my dryer is now likely contaminated :(

Gotta be a desert thing. That would never fly here in the northeast lol. I paint my car trailer outside usually that’s about it. And that’s usually with a roller and a brush.

If I tried that here all the crap that comes off the trees would be in it, not to mention a large assortment of insects. And all the various pollens. Flies love solvents. They would have an orgy. :) You are very fortunate to be able to get results like that outside. Not knocking your abilities at all, just amazed at the conditions being perfect enough to let you do that.

The cleanest paintjob I did was outside too, which was that huge camper I painted. I do a lot of priming outside.

I've got trees all around. Even when doing epoxy on a hood or something outside, I can't get it "clean". Always get garbage in it. Not to mention the bugs.
