its my ford zx2, its just a cheap kobalt spray gun from lowes. but it sprays really good. i had it for like 4 or 5 years, there like maybe $80.00. if you looking to get a good gun at a ok price, that will be the one to get.

Does it get a clear coat, and if so will it remain flat? Can't wait to see what it looks like. What was the factory color?

no, it dont go with clear, its just 4 parts paint, 1 part reducer, and 1 part activator. the activator kind of takes the place of the clear, sort of like when your painting single stage paint. the factory color was a dark blue color.
