man clear it. no clear looks like you just couldnt afford to finish the job

 

+1 it looks like you couldn't afford to do it so you're just driving around. please clear coat it lol.

 

how many coats of clear did they shoot the first time around???

How come u did a grey as a cusotm color??? looks like silverstone..

wetsanding removes clear but only to flatten. if you have a good amount of clear on it allready just compound and polish it. but if you didnt shoot much clear before the color sand...then you might want to shoot another 3wet coats clear. then color sand 2000 then cut and buff.

yeah im going to clear it and if i want to change it i can always scotch brite it.. what happened was the spray booth we rented was dirty even though we hosed the whole thing down ect.. alot of dirt and even filter hair ended up in the paint.. so its my second time arround.. as for the color its lamborghini titanium metalic its got like a gold look

 

Yikes where did u rent a booth at? that sucks man thats why its soo important to have a professional booth when doing full car repaints i cringe thinking about all that hair and dust you got in that paint. ur lucky you werent doing anything like a red or black.

true color concepts in san jose.. yeah i was thinking to do a gunmetal grey now but f it ill just stick to this hope it goes well

 

so what youve repainted ur car allready?? or are you thinking about rebasing it??

Im not into the flat look. They do make a flat clear. If you had three good coats of clear you could get everything out. 1200 1500 2000 buff. I started off in my garage where I did LOTS of bodywork. It was a very dirty place to paint. But in the end if your going to cut and buff it really doesnt matter.

 

true. but cutting and buffing increases ur chances of making a mistake on the polishing..

just remember ep, the more u cut ur clear, the thinner its gonna be and the easeir itll burn when ur compounding it etc.

 

Very true, buffing just comes with time. Im pretty good at it. Three coats of good clear and if you know what your doing you wont go through.

 

its already wet sanded again the entire car is being re done we did the jams tonite

 

thats a hott! color...

 

^^ your the only 1 that thinks so so far haha

 

WTF!...... that color is super hott...... its very clean and original you dont see it...... +1 on that...... no clear looks tight too but its to all his own..... but nice job.....
