Spraying the 'pan with MIO

Time to hit the 'pan with the second layer of paint, MIO - Micaceous Iron Oxide.
This will be the barrier layer and I will not be shy with Mr.Spraygun - not one bit.
Looks damn fine.......you can see the mica in the paint glittering under the right light.
Almost a shame to put a body on it
Left the factory seam sealer on and some of the factory weld spatter, authentic!
Sweet, definitely not having carpets.
Flipped the 'pan over, added some seam sealer and wafted the underbelly.
I'm going to put an absolute shit-load on here for maximum protection
Takes a bit of work to get the MIO sprayable as it has such a high concentration of solids, 40% - it's thick stuff.....
Might well leave the MIO on the underside and forget about the planned third layer (black)
It looks that good, then again high-gloss black is always cool as well.....
