I bought the paint at the local paint shop, i bought 2/3 quart redfire base, 2 gallon fast reducer, 1 gallon clear and 1/2 gallon activator. The car was painted outside just like my gold probe. the key to a good paint job is preping. the car can be painted inside the booth or outside and you wont be able to tell if you are good at what you do.
make sure is not windy when you paint and also wet the ground with water so the wind wont blow crap on it.
using a fast reducer allowed the paint to dry fast (2 min-5min btw coat). usually body shop use a medium reducer which take longer to dry. the car was painted outside with no single run or orange peel.
