Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wingerdave" data-source="post: 15825" data-attributes="member: 958">Where was I...........Oh yeah, color is on and lightly sanded, washed and dried and hardened for a couple of days.Clear -coat using (again) 3 good coats, 3-5 minutes between each coat. Watch out that it doesn't get put on too thick !!!!.If you pin-striped then you have to be careful of paint build up along the edges. You want just enough to blend it in.Then you leave it to dry for a couple of hours before putting it somewhere safe for about two days at 20 C to harden up for the next step........ Getting it to SHINE  :clapping: You're now ready to get out the 1200-1500 grit to wet sand the clear coat. If you look carefully at the paint you'll see lots of really small imperfections, it just isn't possible to get it completly flat without sanding. It's what all Custom Paint Shops do.This is where the fine sanding comes in.... copious amounts of water and gentle pressure. Think of intimate moments with your partner..... Yup, that gentle. Anyone into "wierd stuff" STOP NOW  :shock:  :sensored: You want to end up with a satin finish, slightly dulled. Wash, dry and set aside for a moment.The last part will be the final finish.Dave.</blockquote>
