Is that base/clear? I just shot a '57 Chevy two door wagon with the same paint system. I was somewhat less than pleased with the result. After mixing exactly the ratio suggested, it was coming out of the gun DRY. I tried turning down the air pressure and running different mix ratios. It was no use. The paint is not what I like to use.

A month later, I was able to color sand and buff out alot of the uglies, but it was WAY more work than it should have been. The paint job is also not what I consider to be "perfect".

I hope your experience is better than mine. The customer that gave me the paint said I'll re-shoot it in a couple years with PPG.

It's actually single stage paint, but I will be clearing it as well. I've never used the eastwood paint, but a couple cars in our club have used it and I'm very happy with the way their cars look. You can't beat it for the price. I have shot some of the eastwood epoxy primer and it's awesome. Did you happen to use any reducer at all with yours or just the paint and activator? I've heard that if the ambient temperature isn't just right your better off adding reducer.
