Many hours sanding by hand and many blisters  I remember sanding a Mk2 escort by hand many years ago with blisters for months on hands  When hands were worn out i used a sanding disc on a drill but that was too rough

unfortunately rotary sanders are not that succesful because with a small mistake they can dig the paint.. best is always hand.. may be I can use rotary sanders when removing old paint and primer..

trial  #5     I think I have found the color I searched for.. but to be sure, I need to wait minimum 2 weeks for it to dry completely..
 
I painted the color 7-8 layers to control its red/purple content.. unfortunately still there is purple tone in low angles.. but I'm in the border of blue to turn green..next trials will be on the same color playing with effect white/pearlescent colors

if after few weeks this purple diminishes, I can use this color directly..
 

 
and here is the formula.. you can use if you wish.. all colors are standox..

its been a while I didnt post on this thread.. here are the new color trials.. test number 6 and 8 were successful.. no 7 were not bad but it was the victim of an unusual component so not posted..

it seems I'm very close..    few variants of number 8 are left to be tested only..

[cem_devecioglu]

anyone who is interested for the mix ratios and standox color codes just pm me.. 
 
ps: color mix ratios  are custom made at home .. so not available at color machines with a ready single color code..

I really would like to   and trust me I would try my best..   
 
but..
 
I have big problem with time.. I also need to paint my omega and it will take at least 40-50 days and I cant get permission from job more than 30 days   besides I need to hire an empty garage as I dont have
 
ps: trial/test number 8 was painted with a 0.8 micron hvlp that I bought recently..  it paints very nicely and creates less orange peel shape even without paint cabin heat
 
pps: if you need I will pm you my latest mix ratios
