PIC's ............ where's the pic's ???

 

Tonight for the pics,
now i have to go the gym,


Guys when repainting how many clear coats do you apply? I was thinking of six.

Thanks all, i may not post often but i am keeping an eye on you guys, and one more thing, with all the help i have been getting here, i am proud to display the forum,s stickers!

 

Seriously, 6 coats of clear??? Are you sanding inbetween coats. Sound like a lot but as along as it is smooth and shiney I guess it doesn't matter. You wouldn't have to worry about scratching to the base coat.

 

i am not sanding a am using a very light abrasive as i tried with 2000 grit paper and di not like the outcome, of all i tried with scratch doctor from nu finish between coats and it does a very good job. the number of coating i am putting is experience with reparing scratch from my saturn cars..

thanks

opps here are the disk:

 

 

Indiana i started putting some... lol

 

You might try some using some rubbing compound it really helps put a shine on it. This guy has some good recommendations for painting
