Default First Crack at Painting

Well i finally went to test run at painting used the stock tlt body to test out the skills

have to say i dunno if it was the pactra paint or the 96 degree weather that helped but man it was drying mighty quick all said and done painting took about 30 to 45 minutes no hair dryer

here are the pics the only prob i had was the windshield sticker not coming on good

Looks good chivas! Nice job.
I screwed up my last paint job by not washing out the body w/ detergent or alcohol first. It flaked right back off...

Looks great man! Nice work practicing on the tlt body first. And as stated above be sure to always wash the body before painting, you can even lightly scuff them and the paint will stick even better
