Thats a bear huh? Shooting all that paint. Nice to sit back and admire the new paint though. Have a drink. She looks great. And only two small runs. Yer a pro!!!!
Whats the plan for curing the paint. Im not a painter but I always wounder. Let her sit in doors for awhile to evap and set. then take her out in the sun light and heat to really set?
Something like that Id like to let it sit, gather some dust for a week or two then take it outside in the sun and bake for a lil time. Couple of baking sessions then maybe think about touching it.
Looks good!!! JRWhat I write is opinion, none of it is factual. 2010

It depends on the clear you use..I used DC5300(RM) its a high solids baking clear.There are air dry clears too.
The only thing bad about a car sittin outside is the risk of bird poo.lol
Thanks for all the compliments! Makes me feel good! :-)

Are you kidding!!! Thats EXACTLY what you do after a good painting. Or in my case after any day still breathing LOL Yeah, you have to celebrate. Originally Posted by Bsporty

Sounds like you are doing what I would do, let the coats settle out and cure abit. Yeah, dont want any bird or bug poo. Lil flying poop shooters.
So what then? Do you buff it out with a machine? Some light abrasive. Then apply some wax. Gonna be nice. I wish I was there.. Errrr!!! Some day down the road. Im in black primer and I think its my future for some time. Yeah, Im jealous.. JRWhat I write is opinion, none of it is factual. 2010

Got the hood painted today..Got a bug and some dirt in her but I was planning on wet sanding and buffing anyways..
I also added a few pics of my wheels too....
JR...haha!I always "celebrate"..teehee!
I am definately going to wet sand and buff her out..
awww...no need to be jealous! Good things come to those who wait!!
Trust me...if my boss wasnt cool...It would have been difficult to get this far this fast!

Ehhh........ I guess it dont look to bad
HAHAHAHA.... Just messing with you Brandi. Looks like it turned out great, and the stripes on the hood came out way better than I first thought. You planning on doing any painting on the wheels? One of these weekends I gotta get back up there and check it out.
And is it me or does it look like my brother just tripped and is about to fall on his ass in this pic?

I thought you were to wait a month or so before cutting and buffing..... true? Mine will be done this summer... in the garage. Shhhh, don't tell the EPA! Looks great by the way.

The car looks great. I love the stripe and how you pulled it off on the hood. I usually don't like those hoods on third gens, but with that stripe it looks right.

Nooo...we cut and buff cars next day at the shop.However we do get to bake our clear.It is nice to let the clear "breath" after wetsanding.Your not supposed to wax fresh paint till after at least 60 days. Originally Posted by ROBS6T8

Keep me posted!! I would love to see some pics.
