I'll take some high res pics after I wet sand and buff it, that way you
can see it shine :) And the gun was a crappy Lowes gun $50, air was
at 25psi I think. Barely any overspray with this paint and no drips anywhere.

A+, the only thing ya fucked up on was making a complete writeup for it

theres not much to write about. i did a roll on paint job on my civic. its not rocket science...just takes a ---- ton of patience. if you're rolling on, you can expect several days just in adding coats of paint...i think i did 8 or 10 (2 a day)...i found it worked best to thin it out more after each coat. covered better and helped with sanding at the end

Ya man no time for a write up, spent too damn long
doing nothing but sanding and filling and more sanding.
Probably put in maybe 20-25 hours hammering and sanding :o
and it's still not perfectly straight. But if your body is nice and
straight just scuff the paint and spray the bitch :6
