Yellow, how many coats required?

[mickbench]

I agree with P-MAN. This colour is best avioded, or if using chrome yellow first yelds better results then give this a go, as for me I will not be using this paint again in a hurry.

It's a wonderful colour, perfect shade I think for the S2000. After 4 mist, 1 wet - a further 2 mist + a heavy mist and then a VERY wet coat, (I wasn't going to do a wet coat, but just didn't like the idea of doing huge amounts of sanding to remove heavy orange peel) over a period of now 3 days this is my result -





Thankfully after such a bruttle attack with paint, and the volume of paint applied the details of the car are not gone. Picture doesn't show it very well, but the boot indent for the lock is still there.. And door handles are still well visable etc.. Got away with it, but what a hell of a way to lay a paint job down.

Just a rub with Tamiya Compound, Plus ultra Fine Compund and wax and I'm done wiith this. Total nightmare, and very frustrating..!!

That looks great. I'm glad you figured out a technique that worked.
