For those of you that have been guiding me through this project here are some details about the product, and my painting plan.

Paint: Automotive Art Motobase LV (Low VOC) Verdoro Green
Tech sheet info:
Mix 1:1
Suggested pressures: 21-29 psi, 1.3 - 1.4mm (HVLP)
45-60 psi, 1.3 - 1.4mm (Conv)
Coats: 2-3 medium wet coats
Time between coats: 5-10 mins (at 68f) (or until matt)
To Clearcoat: 10-15 min. (at 68f) (or until matt)
Recommend Reducer for 85+ degs, Slow
Dry/Wet sand 600/800 before base coat

Temps @ 80 deg ( will attempt to keep panels out of direct sun), slow reducers and activators.
Wait times after each step in ( )
Day 1: Trunk Lid and Valance (easiest to fix if there is a problem)
Seal coat (30 min)
base coat #1 (10 min) (with cap full of clear activator)
base coat #2 (10 min) (w/activator)
base coat #3 (if needed), (w/activator) 30 min (? Opinions on this wait time to clear),
clear coat #1, (30 min)
clear coat #2 (30 min)
clear coat #3 (based on amount of product I'm using)

Day 2: @75 degrees Same products as above.
Painting/clearing two doors in the afternoon (need wife's help to hang them)

Day 3: Temps ? (hopefully low to mid 70's) will probably be the following week, will use same products. Same timing.
Body shell from cowl to rear.


Obviously this product has some pretty quick recoat windows, I'm guessing that's because it's Low VOC (not something I'm a fan of in most other products). So ... any opinions on the timing I plan on using with this product? And modifications or suggestions you would make?

Initial plan is to shoot everything at about 25 psi. 1.4mm, LPH-400.

Have at it .... as I plan to start tomorrow. I realize it's not ideal to paint on different days with metallic ... no choice.
