After a few mishaps with painting, here are some pics of my successful prime and paint.

Used 220 wet and 400 wet to prep. Then I used plastic primer followed by black duplicolor. I used three coats of each. Hopefully it covered enough. I will be able to tell tomorrow when I can touch it and move it around.

Sanded and ready for primer:





Color:





Clear tomorrow

Thanks Cully! You have no idea how much of a role model your car has been for me.. If it isn't obvious

So I actually had to sand the color coat back off due to it cracking. I've almost got it all sanded and ready for re-paint again. I'll be getting this done next week so stay tuned. Hopefully by the following weekend I'll have it installed
