yea, its super super simple though! Cause the buffer i have isn't like some crazy **** so the heat / friction it creates is not enough to damage the car's paint. Also its a orbital buffer so it's free flowing, but yea the main point of my buffer is to polish and wax easier and more effectively and so it will get rid of some scratch marks but its not going to get rid of much ( maybe on your car it might get rid of a lot of marks because its still pretty new paint.) but yea you guys can swing by my house if you wanna see me use it, or ill go by on saturday morning to your house and ill teach you guys! Either one is fine!

Lol unfortunately not. I could spray it for you but it probably won't be worth it....

Go to your local paint shop and ask. People that sell paint are usually really helpful.

Bondo... ehhh... not so great you can find better body filler.

As for the fiberglass repair kit Pepboys, Kragen or Autozone should have it. I have some scrap CF if you wanna use that instead lol.

Hey I just remembered, We used to use stuff on our boats that was a clear, it withstands heat and Gas and is also solvent resistant a little pricey, $15+ bucks a can i think.

Moeller Clear Laquer. You can find this stuff at West Marine. If you want I can pick it up for you and you can pay me back at the meet. Its right next to my house.

heres a link http://www.westmarine.com/1/1/5930-e...m-moeller.html

wow, nice eric... no cf for me tho... no matter what, it gets covered with paint anyways. i just have like two small cracks in the fibergladd body of the plastics. just thinking of using something to fill it in and just sand down to have a nice painting surface.

Moeller Clear Laquer, is this a clear coat or what is it? i'm not very familar with boat stuffs. lol. oh i see. it's literally a clear laquer... haha. eric, do you know what type of paint you would have to use with this without mesing up the paint? like acrylic base or what?

also, for you guys to shoot automotive grade clear coat on the gas tank of my croth rocket... how much? can't be that damn much right? lol.

hey just to make sure... we can wash the cars at the same time right? the hose will reach all 4 cars? I'm bringing my bucket so I'm cool as long as the car can be sprayed down...

anyone wanna switch cars to wash? I'd much rather wax a Z than this Evo..

also, anyone got tips on how to remove wax from this black plastic piece? I swear, I tried all kind of shitz but the wax just shows after it dries... AHHH looks retarded.. it's impossible not to get wax on them

I don't know what we would charge at M1 I actually shoot most of my own stuff. I just finished clearing my Front fenders... Hopefully I can put them on before Saturday.

But that Moeller stuff we used to use on Everything!! It works just like spray paint. It shouldn't mess up any paint below as long as the paint is cured or old paint.
