So I decided I am going to paint my car candy orange
 I know some, if not most people will disagree with the color choice, but its what i want . Bought all the paint today, just waiting on the Supra SS to get here (wends) then hopefully start next wknd painting... hopefully.Any advice will be very helpful as well. I bought an HVLP gun, my unlce has a big compressor, bought a large expensive water separator (for get the real name), and an "in line" water separator (cheap disposable thing, to make sure there is no water) which will go right before my gun. Along with all the other essentials (sand paper, mask, tape, ect.) The paint I am using is a "4 step" paint. Primer-Candy base coat-Candy color-Clear. But I am still debating on an effect coat, between the candy color and clear. I know I want to do one of them, but not sure which one. Options being a Metallic effect, or a "prism effect". But have not been able to get good pics of both effects, maybe someone can help me decide. I mean if im doing it, I may as well try anything, and not look back wishing i did something, ya know Anyway started sanding a few days ago, only got in 2 days. But its coming along very nicely First day      Shaved rear Wiper  Day 2 (most hand sanding on bumpers and edges)    Rear Bumper is now finished as well, but not in this pic
