    long as neighbours didnt complain abt the fumes, and proper masks were worn, thats a good example of a situation where a booth issent needed. very keen to see pics!
    However, how was the drying/hardening process? id assume without baking the yellow must of taken a long time to 100% cure.

    i like using 2pack as its got a more sticky texture off the gun unlike acrylic its just runny and u gotta be a bit more careful. and the rubdown process of acrylic is the make or break in terms of quality imo. i do alot of work with acrylic paints though mind you, just easier n safer for me to use at home. dont really get the chance often to use a booth.

    2pack with the buffing process issent as intensively required like acrylics, only have to really go over areas where needs corrections provided proper gun techniques are layed on. the watery/oily spots u speak off is just poor worksmanship. but always can be corrected by a genius detailer. hell ive had a friend who restored a black vti-r that had faded paint on the top of the doors n strapped for cash he managed to remove it by using 3 2 dollar spray cans of gloss black and alot of time n patience with the blending/detailing step and it came up amazing for the age of the car.
