The paint isn't cloudy, dull or anything. It's glossy as heck! It's just that when the sun hit the metallic and just the right angle, the metallic looks "blotched" as in it looks like there's just the slightest bit less of it in that particular spot compared to the entire car. (Unless that's...

Nope, the apot looks like beautiful wet paint (when in the sun and in the shade) It's just that very very slight blotch in the metallic that's scaring me to do the entire car. The blotch also extends a bit past the test spot too, if that help clears anything up.

My instructor sprayed it. 2 double wet coats were layed down. I'm gonna say about 3/4 - 7/8 of a gallon of clear + the hardner was sprayed on. The other remaining was sprayed on the door jambs. So it's still possible that I burned through the clear even if I never had any green slurry and I...

Started to buff out my British Racing green stang. Did a little 2x2 test spot on the door (bc that's where the orange peel is the worst). Wet sanded with by hand 1500, 2000& 3000. Compounded with m105/m205 and topped off with CG acrylic glaze and black fire wet diamond sealant. Test spot came...

WOW, now that's a lot of information to absorb! I'm sorry, I noticed now I left out a lot of valuable information. Now I know i've seen around that people wouldn't suggest it, but i'm gonna be doing all the buffing with a PC. (It's the only thing I have, and I can't get my hands on a rotary) So...

We also lightly wet sanded the entire car to scuff up the paint for better adhesive for the next (and final) coat. Another thing we did we add the Napa 4003 stone guard on the lower sections of my fenders and quarter panels, and my side skirts. A lot of people think they look hideous due to...

I don't even know where to begin. Well, to introduce myself, My name is Brandon and i'm from Mililani,Hawaii (Island of Oahu), i'm 16 and bought this Mustang with all my hard earned money from the Golden Arches, lol. The story of why I wanted to have the 'Stang painted "British Racing Green"...

Same with me too! My instructor said that 400 grit is high enough and that "the clear coat will cover it up" In certain lightings, if you look at it real good, you can still see the cross-hatch patterns from all the sanding :doh:

Sorry, but what do you mean by "you just wait longer"? So would Ultimate Quik Detailer also be acceptable to use?

I recently had my car repainted (about 5 days ago) and I know that the general rule of thumb is to not apply any type of sealant or wax for a month or so, so the paint can out-gass. So my question is: what quick detailers can I use that don't have any "sealant" properties? Something that I can...

*And for a side not, i'll add some photos on a separate thread when I get home!

Just had my car painted "British Racing Green", a Dark green metallic Jaguar color, by my High-School Autoshop teacher. The Paint came out pretty nice, but it still lacks that deep clarity due to the orange peel. But he told me that he was only able to lay down two, "double wet coats" of clear...
