Just painted Vette...Check out pics...
Paint went well..Except for the fact the booth did not cycle and baked the car for 1.5 hrs at 160*F(Should have cycled off after 40 minutes)I guess no harm done(I hope)...Just going to wet sand with 2000 then buff...Click on the link on my signature...Then on New project and the pictures are sectioned due to the fact that the booth is small and I could not get a shot of the whole car..Tell me what you guys think???

Looking good! :cheers:
I can't wait to be able to get around to painting mine. I just washed and added another layer of Zaino to mine. It's got so many rock chips and places the clearcoat is eaten away it's horrid. Nevermind the spidering on the bumpers, couple of cracks in the fiberglass and a full body orange peel effect. :D
Still, it looks good from 10' :yesnod:

Looks pretty glossy! :cool: Is this something you do in your spare time or do you do this for a living?

Xfactor..I only use Spies Heckler(primer,base,and Clear)..Vario trace coat block(3 times),3 coats base and 3 heavy wet coats clear...the end results are great ..But the Spies clear is Very Hard..So not looking forward to wet sanding..Take care
