The paint looks to have a very very slight OEM-looking orange peel, which I actually like. Can you detail your paint process? Yes, I like OEM orange peel on many cars. I guess it's because I've seen it so much on original cars - it's how you can tell original paint from repaints - most of the time

Hi Foster,
Thanks for the compliments.
The paint ; Usually the shop will have the final buff and the will use the 2000 sandpaper grit on the car prior to the buffing, but I asked them to delay the buffing 'til maybe 2nd quarter 2010 as I want to have a real DRY Up of the paint. Hence, the orange peel effect is still there.
We used Centari " Super Black " . In fact , the first spraying was done in early 2009, and after engine / suspension work, I had the car repainted with the same color. The depth is there !
The Process ; after undercoat and all, we did spray 3 times,,,follow by clearcoating 2 times.
The second / repaint .. we used 2000 grit sandpaper buffing, then spray 2 time and clear another 2 times.
That's a lot of paint !
Is this the right way ? I don't know !
Meanwhile, I use ordinary AmWay for waxing. I've tried other brands but they tend to leave white residue on the surface ! And I still keep looking for wax that help keep the black as Super Black. Any suggestions are welcomed.
Cheers,
GM.

BTW, junior just bought a bottle of Turtle Wax for me to try.
It worked, almost all white residue is gone.
The trial never end !
