[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

I wanted to paint this body in a basic, single stage white just like the first body, but a last minute decision at the paint shop counter had me shooting it in a tri coat white pearl. It's the same mix as the Ford Platinum trucks. I had never done a tri coat before, and was unsure of the order of the 3 stages. Also, being that the primer / sealer / base &amp; pearl coats were all white it was very hard to see coverage and overlap - which is especially important with the pearl stage. So, I laid it down this past Saturday - all 16 coats of it! I only did 3 coats of clear, I really (!) wanted to shoot the 4th coat but the temps were dropping in the shop and I've seen where the 4th coat just sags the entire side...I didn't want to deal with that. The advantage of the temps dropping is that my last coat (heavy) of clear had a lot of time to flow out - so almost zero orange peel! Brought it home last night, Danny approves!

Nice pearl effect with a good amount of sparkle!
