lillbullet1978 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Now I would like to make it clear that my shop is just a normal shop. No paint booth or real form of temperature control, but we make do with what we have. And so on to paint But first to wet sand the primer. Starting with 600 wet/dry paper then to 800 and finaly 1200 The best head... is an old school BassHead!! get your minds out of the gutter people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lillbullet1978 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 I came in the next morning to check it out. And i dont know if you can tell from the pics, but the clear diddnt realy flow out that well. I guess it was too cold for it to level out here is a better pic to illustrate you can see the orange peel is really bad. I guess i have some wet sanding and buffing to do.

lillbullet1978 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Now, I own a detail shop and have hav a few years in the auto body industry. Do not try to do this unless you are experinced and are confident you have enough clear on the vehicle ( I have 3 light coats and 3 heavy coats). Cause if you break through its game over and you have to repaint. So be careful I started with 800, went to 1000, then 1200 and finaly 1500 The best head... is an old school BassHead!! get your minds out of the gutter people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
