That looks awesome. Did you wet sand the factory paint?

Nice job. It is a lot of work but well worth it. How many hours did it take you?

Thanks, it was a whole lot of work and a little nerve wracking sanding and buffing on so little clearcoat. All sanding was done by hand and I only worked mainly weekends on it but it took about 3 months taking my time.
As an example I would guess I have about 15 hours sanding on one door.

I used 1500/2000/2500 and finished up with 3000. I don't think using the 2500 made much differance but I had bought it so I used it.

Very Nice once you were done sanding, what did you use to buff it?
