Yes, very nice work Cyclopsblown34! You too, Jtindale (I can not wait to see more!). Phinxter, we look forward to seeing your progress too!
I have been off the boards for a little while. Sorry about not responding to the primer question. But others jumped in with excellent advice. I have never had a problem with HOK KD3000 over any properly laid base, bodywork, metal, plastic, or anything for that matter. SPI products work excellent also. I have never had a problem with any of their products. SPI's Perfect Paint Job page is excellent advice. If you are doing a restoration or have a little time and can be patient, I strongly recommend SPI's Option #2. I have been spraying BC/CC at my shop that way since long before there was an SPI Option #2! It works incredible. I like the thirty minutes between coats of clear. One reason is that it allows more time for solvent release. Which means less chance of problems like solvent pop and the like (I spray relatively heavy (wet) with my clear!). You have to be careful though, not all clears can be sprayed that way. Check the manufacturers guidelines or spray some test panels for yourself and try it.
I am not a member of the other boards yet. I am definitely going to join them soon. They have some great information from the browsing I have done on them.
