allright i just got my car painted with a two coats of clear coat. it's metallic black by the way. the shop told me to wait a week or two and wet sand buff it?? i don't know to much about buffing cars so what kind of shop should i take it to and how much am i lookin at??

i think it looks really good now but of course the guy says it's a night and day difference after it is buffed!!

 

maybe you could try taking it to a car dealer and asking them to do it for you id think they would have stuff there liek that to do it seeing how they have to keep the cars on the lot looking good.

 

I think I would ask the guy who did the painting to do the other for you also. He would tend to give you a better price probably. Also, you know that he does good work.

 

good professional detailer or body shop. thats wierd, body shop that did my car, they do it as soon as the paint is dry, before it leaves the shop, themselves. I'v never heard of anyone telling you to go somewhere else later and get it done. It does make a great diff. though.

any imperfections or orange peel etc will be gone. it will be perfect.

 

Whenever I get done painting my RS I'll prolly start wetsanding it about 2 - 3 days after I'm done spraying. lol

why cant you buff it yourself?

 

Do a search on wetsanding. there is ahugh difference on apperance with a car that has been wetsanded to remove all orange peel. Really is worth it. Buffing is easy improvement but wetsanding and buffing is the best way. Don't do this yourself if you have no experience. You can burn your paint if you have no buffer knowledge. This is my car after wetsanding and buffing.

 

dont waste your time on this one . .

most dealers use an outside shop for the real work . .
the car lot jockeys just wash (brush) and thats 'bout it . .

get some referrals to a good shop in your area . .

 

it looks good already but i'd take it to the guy who painted that way if they screw up u don't have to pay to have it repaired and the know there work
