Since I had my paintbooth up and running this afternoon, I went ahead and painted the Mercedes in the first of three colors. The first is the basecoat of Solarbeam Yellow. This will be followed by the mid-coat of metallic/pearl with a clearcoat being last.    More AMG GT to come... |

It sure is! Brighter than I expected, too. This has dried for a couple of days and now for the midcoat to be applied.

I added the mid coat of paint today. Since my air brush has been still for a month, I decided to give it a quick cleaning before I sprayed the mid coat. Next will be the clearcoat in a day or two.    More AMG GT to come... |
