Obligatory run/sag on the left rear.... Always that fine line between getting it to flow out and flooding in a run. For the most part I got it but was just a little dry around this corner and one swipe too much and 15 mins later a nice sag (and still looks slightly dry on the adjacent side!). I used to have a trick where touching a piece of masking tape to it would lift some of the excess, but its been a long time since I have painted much so just left it. Wabi Sabi is what I say.
And always amazes me how much dust there is. Did a wet sand between coats which helped (after the first coat much of the dust that blows up around the spraying is sticky, so the second coat was a little smoother. I wouldnt be happy if it was my car, but it dont suck too bad. For a tractor.
Now the home stretch to put all the details in place. Was looking for a chrome decal and was going to chrome powder coat the grill, but wasnt able to find one so may just go with traditional.
