well I am on coat 4 now of this long arse paint job I will either spray the 4runner or not dilute the paint.
last night I got tired of wet sanding and hitting spots of primer so I did not dilute the paint and it seemed to have less orange peel then when diluted I also found it good to have a can of spray paint in the same color to do morning touch up before setting the truck in the sun for the day.
you get better coverage then trying to brush on in thin spots.
well I hope that tonights coat will be the last coat.
the truck dose look good I have to say and I like the color but it takes for ever and painting the only source of transport was not at a good time I had to put off work for one more week.

I don't know if I will clear coat it or just wax the hell out of it considering that peeling clear coat was the start and reason for the new paint job.

heres some pics of how it looks with 3 coats
