Rob, I took your advice somewhat. I am shooting Dupont Chroma base. But I am also using the chroma clear instead of the Emron.

Anyway top is prett y much done aside from the wetsad and buff. The bottom freggin fish eyed like a mofo. Not sure what i got on there but it must of been on the rag I used to prep with. I should of used prep wipes instead of some shitty ass rag. Anyway here is the pix thus far.

I should have the hatch ready to shoot by Tuesday.

Looks good, hopefully the fish eyes will wet sand out.



Out of curiousity, did the compressor you used have a moisture trap on it? Inline moisture trap?



I learned the hard way about compressed air and cup guns, all the prep in the world can't stop the fish eyes from one small spit from the gun.

The fish eyes are pretty bad but I can get them out for the most part. I'll just have to shoot some extra clear. Btw no the compressor I am using is my old mans. My booth is still iunder construction. Its most likely a 20 year old tank and I am sure it has some water in it. I have not had too many issues with it thought. I am 90% sure that the fisheyes came from the rag I wipped the hood off with prior to shooting it.
