Clearcoated the main body today and like a massive dumbass I mixed the paint 2:1 but backwards. 2 parts activator to paint instead of 2 parts paint to 1 part activator. Figured it out half way through. Since it was so thin to start with I have some runs and sags. Pretty disappointing. I figured the car is a mess so oh well it matches the rest of it all. It is what it is. It's gonna be a 20 footer for sure. I really won't give a poop if someone leans on it or my son scraps it. It's just a car and I just want it to run reliably. Paint doesn't matter. That doesn't make it drive.

I'll post some pics later, but iits pretty bad. Almost embarrassing. But hey..... It was my first time.

Now I have to buy more activator for the other pieces of the car. Live and learn. Get back up and keep in going.
