    true…i hate having to take the car out. keep in mind i rarely have to but id rather be sure before i lay down the clear. i have been painting for about 10 mos., now. i wonder if anybody else ever has to take the car out of the booth. what do you do? have you ever used those hand held “sunlights” i think 3m makes them. or are your booth lights adequate? :unsure:

    Usually I find the booth lights are adequate, but if I’m in any doubt I’ll break out the Sun Gun.

    I’ll never for get when the 3m rep brought the sun gun by the shop.They went into one of the booths and stopped the painter from laying down the first coat of clear because they saw sand scratches everwhere :cens

    the 3m guns are money well spent. Ever turn the booth lights off and go in there and look at your blend using only the color corrective light, for light. It shows blends great that way too. Invaluable tool for matching color
