I got all the parts painted last night, but it was not without a bonehead mistake first.
Can you figure out what it was?
Finished Product
Without using any brain the odds were stacked against me. I had a 1 in 4 chance of grabbing the correct can of paint. To add to the odds against me I had 3 cans of gray paint and 1 of safety yellow. So I get all setup and thin out the paint and head out to spray it in the back yard. I just finished with the second coat on everything and I was checking out my handy work when the thought crept in my brain I had not been using "that paint looks a little dark". My trip back into the garage confirmed my fears I had grabbed the can of Rustoleum "Smoke Gray" not the can of color matched paint for he Novakon. Then I figured I had already screwed up once lets see if I can really screw things up. So I cleaned the spray gun and loaded it up with the color matched paint and started spraying the parts again. So now I had 2 coats of Rustoleum down and proceeded to put down 2 coats of Sherwin-Williams over it. I know this is a huge no-no but I did not care and wanted to tempt fate. I lucked out this time and nothing bad happened and the paint setup fine and has a nice glossy finish as of this morning. It will need a few days to completely harden up but that is normal.
