Default Starting to blow paint on the 30 pickup

Just started shooting the 30 pickup.
Two coats of fill primer on the epoxy primer and its looking great. I nibedb off the boogers on the epoxy paint this morning and mixed my first batch of fill primer pretty thin to self level, the second coat I backed off on the reducer to o...btain a little thicker sandable mill. Combination of prior proper prep work, good paint, the correct combination of hose length and CFM air supply and just luck resulted in a job I can sleep on. I cant thank my two helpers enough, Tami and Sunie have spent countless hours helping me in the garage and putting up with my shit. Thank you girls, your appreciated in a BIG way
