how well did you pre fab the car , in the sense of primer it in hifill ? sand it with electric sander ? then block hole car with 800 grid or 1200 grid ?
i am wanting black on my car and trying to get it to minimise as much imperfections as possible.
is $330 cheap for 4 litres of ppg matt black with clear in it and couple of litres of harder and thinners ?

its a long process and theres alot to type but i can tell ya some, im lazy so ill probably miss a few
1) sand back paint around any repairs you need to make, this will make bog sit alot better also bog ontop of paint doesnt mix as after sometime of your car being in the sun the bog will dminish a little and youll be left with a mark under the paint surface, may result in cracking aswell. so sand repairs to metal or beond paint and then bog needed area's.
2) block the bog areas, dont worry about scracthing paint around them. make sure you get them nice and inline with cars natural curves. after that fill and pin holes you would have left in the bog.
3) now that the bog is good you need to sand back your wholoe car. you have 2 options
- sand all back to bare metal
- remove clear top coat.
i would go back to metal if you plan on changing colour. while sanding it is important to feather out and scratches you have left in the car.
4) depending on your bog work, (how good/straight it is) youll need to apply 3-5 coats of primer (ppg 2 componet primer, mixed with hardner and thinners ratio of 5-1 ) after this apply a guide coat (try purple haze, it works really well)
5) now your ready to block. block the car again with 240gr trying not to rub thorugh to metal. the guide coat will show up any imperfections/runs wich will need to be blocked out.
6) then wet rub the whole car again with 500 wet. basically your ready to paint. more info but ive typed enough now soo have fun
