so i set up the new gun this morning and the difference was clear i also had a little to much pressure so i turned it down to about 35psi like the guy at spectrum said last night.
this is just one coat with the new gun    and ready for clear just waiting for it to dry     its not the best but it should look ok once its all done a buffed.

got 1 coat of clear on the roof and boot doing the top of the left front door the air line kinked
 and a big blob of paint went on the door and ran down so i had to sand it and prime it when it drys ill give it a light sand and try get some colour on it tonight then tomorrow paint bonnet and gaurds then clear them aswell as both sides of the car then it will be even then give it all a few more coats and prep the side skirts and bumpers. also got bored while waiting so i sprayed the tyre well and fuel tank in matt black i had left over from the engine bay to get rid of the over spray and also did the end of the exhaust so it wont be rusty but it will probably burn off

cheers guys.
well with having to fix a few bits on the car and spilling some thinners ages ago im running very low on paint primer and thinners i have enough thinners to get the final coat of clear on the car but it wont be finished this weekend. one day after work next week i will go and get some more paint and re hire the compressor for next weekend. anyway the car is done, front and rear bumpers are painted but no clear and one side skirt. didnt get a good run this morning had a few dramas with the compressor leaking and losing pressure. door fixed  bumpers primed no picture of them painted  and the car with clear im about to go outside and give it a final coat.  so tomorrow there will be pictures of the car out of the car port it hasnt left the driveway in 2 months. to do: fix a side skirt the paint keeps blistering on it to buy: paint, primer, thinners. car will be done next weekend.

got the car cleared last night im basically out of thinners tho i will have to restock tomorrow night, the blue takes abit to cover aswell as having to respray the door jambs and that door the paint hasnt gone as far as i hoped but anyway i got it out of the car port today for the first time in 2 months and i took some photos. it came out better then i was thinking the clear has helped it.
firstly bumpers from last night no clear yet  and the car its not very shiny ive been told it wont be untill its buffed

It will come up well once its buffed....
Dont be in a rush to buff it tho, as the paint is really soft for the first couple of weeks.

so today with no paint i decided i was sick of the XF being to low scrapping on everything and way to bouncy so i tried the old rear springs from the XR6 into the XF and they fit so the rear is now raised i have the factory springs from my XG but for some reason there to tall and dont fit so i will cut 2 coils of them tomorrow and they should fit. Tuesday i am going to go and get more paint and stuff ready for the weekend. Wednesday ill go and pick up this mirror for the passenger side for the XF. Friday i pick up the compressor again to finish the rest of the car.
rear raised

How much clearance is there between the back tyre and the guard? It looks like a couple of centremetres, the springs in the front of my XF are about that too if I recall?
Might be worth a look and I can give you a hand throwing those ones in.
