Finally got color on the girl. What I thought was a mismix of single stage blue turned out to be some sort of blurple. I love it. Other then I'm not even close to being good at spraying single stage metallics. First full vehicle job. Learned alot. Also should have used a better gun and had better lighting. But for a wheeler. I'm happy.
