OK spent all afternoon, behold one yellow rover, and a shot of me spraying it
I bought the hardener and reducer for the gallon, said on them makes it hard and glossy
Paint from pic above was dry this morning but soft, so gonna give it till Monday I think before I go bolt in stuff on

Yeah the blue bled through I had to coat and stand back to look, I only wet the truck and took a scotch brute pad to it, think course pad, rinse to be sure there were no waxed spots where water went away fast
Think I got no fish eyes in paint except maybe inside door jams cause I did not prep em
Cleaned up bubbled/ corroded areas with the 90* die grinder with course pad then hit those areas with self etch primer, dry and scuff
There are a few runs on roof I did not sand out but figured with the rack no biggie
Got a lot of over spray in the doors to cleanup but overall was 1.5 qts of paint to do this so I got plenty left
Total cost under $100
Hopefully it holds up ok
Figured 2 hours after I finished fog rolled in so I hope the paint wasn't ruined last nite

Bad news my nice shiny paint got ruined by heavy fog last night, hood tops of fenders cargo door parts of roof I resprayed, basicly anything above the door handles is dulled bad, wtf
Any ideas I really do not want to mask and respray again
