    Spraying a nice paint job isn’t easy regardless of what type of paint you’re laying down. No orange peel is a huge accomplishment in a first paint job. The color is perfect, you really made a great choice. Love the video, love your channel, appreciate you and how much enjoyment you give us by sharing your projects

    As a full time painter, id like to say you did an amazing job!! And not just for a first time paint job, even if this was you 100th paint job, you did awesome! Layed it down really wet and flat. You deserve to toot your own horn on this one. Even if it had pearl or metalics, the way you moved in the booth and your consistent overlap, you would have layed down a killer paint job regardless of colour!
    Very, very nice job Sarah👏👏👏
    Looks great!

    You are not afraid of hard work! So refreshing! My daughter and I pulled her motor out of her '04 Mustang for a rear main seal leak. She asked if we could paint all the pans racing red...plus all the brackets. We did and scrubbed every inch of every part we removed. She was 17, turning 18 at the time and scrubbed the intake with a toothbrush and degreaser until it shined. Car had 102k on it! She never stopped going the distance on every part of that regasket job. I shared your vid with her and she loved it! You are an inspiration!
    My older daughter reminded me that I sold her '69 beetle...I told her she was 5 years old! She said back that I told her it was hers! So, if I win the bug, she gets it! 😊

    You did a great job and were very wise to get Fred for his expert training. Too many people try to paint without understanding how tough it is to lay down a nice paint job and how to accomplish it. A lot of it is in the prep work and masking, which is where most of your time needs to be spent to do it right. Getting all the orange peel out is a great accomplishment. It can be easier to do with less catalyst and heat to allow the paint to "flow out". That paint job looks great with an awesome distinctness of image (aka mirror finish.) All in all, a beautiful job- well done !
