Thanks guys. the paint is actually the electron blue pearl. it was right after the new Si came out and i loved the color. we are gonna redo it sometime soon and i want either a brighter blue or a deeper color like cobalt. can't make up my mind.
we had a problem with the air and paint mix ratio during the clear coat. it had orange peel so i had to do more color sanding then normal. oh and color sanding is wet sanding. i sanded with the hose for a couple of days till my fingers were bleeding. but my hands had never been smoother! i was having a hard time getting the small divots out of the real bad spots. so i went one more coarser than i was supposed to. i need to learn that more is not always better. so i scratched up my new paint job in a few areas. and had to fix it with a lot of buffing. at least i learned a lot in the process. like what not to do. it's ironic becuase at first i was scared to buff out the orange peel so that's why i risked it with more sanding. then that caused me to have to buff a lot more. geez... it did turn out nice though. maybe a little rough around the edges but i'm not crying about it.
