Wow Excellent work! Are you double clearing everything? What clear are you using? How many coats ?

 

[RodMan]

Rusty, your tape and masking jobs are almost as nice as the painting itself!!

Yes total of 6 coats of Universal

Looks great Rusty. Are you reducing your clear coat on your second session of application? What grit paper do you start with when cutting your second session of clear?

Rolled it out in the sun to let the paint job settle before we start wet sanding and buffing

Not to mention free advertising. Car looks fantastic.

How long do you typically wait between paint and buffing?

How long do you typically wait between paint and buffing?

Couple of days but usually we are working on a few projects at the same time so it may be longer

 

[Chad.S]

I was curious because I tend to let them sit 2 weeks after paint.
sand after 1 week, buff after 2.

 

[rusty428cj]

We have the deck lid finished

 

[Neil Morgan]

Just stunning as usual Rusty .... but then we've come to expect nothing less

 

[rusty428cj]

Brian started buffing the body still needs to be polished

 

[Bob Hollinshead]

DOI is impressive! Very nice work!

 

[chevman]
