Default Undercarriage is finally painted

I've posted this over in another section, but since it turned out pretty good, I would post up some pictures. It took several weeks of sanding and prep, so we did the epoxy primer and then right to the single stage paint to save more sanding and prep.
Here is a pic after the epoxy primer.

Here it is after the single stage. Looks great considering the difficult conditions to paint.

I've thought about when I get something else to drive and start tearing down my car, I wanna redo it from ground up and have thought about doing this to mine but instead of Artic White like my car is, just paint mine black under there.

Never the less OP, great work though.

Thanks guys. Appreciate all the compliments. The paint is a single stage that's a base and clear together. It is more expensive, but saves me time from more sanding. Just a note, I did not spray the car, I had a local body guy come by and spray it. I don't have the paint knowledge nor equipment to pull this off, but I did do all the prep.
Will get more pictures of car once the Fab 9 is installed and the Fikse wheels are mounted. Those items have been waiting since Xmas to get installed.
