You only need two tools in life: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape.

First coat needs to be very light, then a second slightly heavier one, and a third to cover, make all your coats the same way! as in side to side or up and down....not both!

Make sure you have enough paint in the gun to do at least a whole side at a time or you will never get it to match.

Your filling and flatting needs to be absolutely perfect or the job will look crap, theres no room for error with pearl paints!!!

If you have never sprayed before then I strongly suggest you get an expert to do it, I have even seen experts have to redo the job.

Oh one last thing, if you are going to do it make sure its inside in a clean workshop and wet the floor down before you put the paint on to stop any dust flying up.

GOOD LUCK!
