Sprayed the basecoat & clearcoat yesterday.
WEAR A RESPIRATOR FOR THE SPRAYING. I wore a respirator for all of the spraying. For sure wear one for the 2K clear. It is a very toxic clear. Your lungs won't work too good clearcoated.

1 - I lightly sanded the primer with 600 wet or dry.
2 - Wiped down the pieces with a tack rag.
3 - Sprayed 3 coats of base. Flash time between coats 5 min. Let dry for 2 hrs.( photos 1 & 2 )
4 - Sprayed 3 coats of clear. Flash time between coats 10 min. (photos 3, 4, & 5 )
This clear is 2 component clear & after activated has a pot life of about 12 to 18 hrs. So make sure you have everything wanted to spray ready to go all at once. A description of the 2K clear is here 2K clear coat: Spraymax

Please don't beat me up too bad for the orange peal in photo 4, it really doesn't look too bad in real life.

Going to let it dry today & start to reassemble tomorrow.
