You probably meant to paint it that many times though, didn't you Grub?I painted a 32 Roadster back in 2002. using Acrylic Lacquer
First seven top coats straight black, next 4 coats 75% black 25% clear, next 4 coats 50-50, final 6 coats 25% black 75% clear.
let the paint cure for close to 12 months then rub it back and polished it, the depth in the paint job was outstanding, when I painted my 38 I didn't mix it I went for straight colour, next car I paint I will be going back to the mixing colour with clear.
Don I will get a picture of my garage door.
