2nd coat tonight (no pictures). A few thoughts and first impressions:

1. The paint seemed super thick on the inside. I thinned it a bit, and it seemed really watery on the outside.

2. Odor is acceptable, but a bit strong at first.

3. This seems to be really messy. I usually keep the area clean when I'm paining, but this stuff just seems to go everywhere for some reason.

4. Reset side got a light sanding with 800 grit before recoat. I want to compare that to nozzle side and see how the paint reacts.

5. This stuff take forever to dry.

6. Dirt is a real problem. I know my shop is not the cleanest, but come on! It looks like I painted it outside in a dust storm. It will take a lot of post paint work to make it look nice.

7. Orange peel is a fact of life here. Thinning helps, but it only lays down just so much, and then that's it.

8. I didn't realize how wonderful surfacing primer really is. It will take a lot of paintwork to hopefully fill all the sanding scratches that primer normally would. It seemed ok untill I got to see it with some gloss.

9. On the positive side, paining is actually fast and easy. I can do a coat on all the red parts in about 10 minutes. When I'm done, I wrap the roller tightly in a plastic bag and that keeps it from drying out.
