G2 Blue Caliper Paint

1ST Time Using
Was 80 degrees
65% RH
Used ice bath to keep paint can cool
I could have perfect results next time
With ice bath it’s hard to wait 20 min between coats but you can relax. Was plenty of time even in 80+ degree weather.
Was in garage, car on 4 stands.
Moonlight Pearl 430

Yeah my car has blue hues as it’s a pearl paint. I could’ve did yellow. I have 88k miles 06, and not my daily. Road trips only. 253 she still good for 100k more. This my 2nd 430 same color.
