Re: WOA flat white

so, you used steel wool and brake cleaner to buff out scratches?

just leave it, it will stay that way, or you could probably get a buffer and compound and polish it back up to a shine, unless you took all the clear off.

take 1500 grit wet sand paper to the whole car, that'll dull it all out.

Re: WOA flat white

actually if you are looking for a "flat" white.

i took my front bumper off a junked 87 z28 ..
it used to be red.. i sanded it down and sprayed it with white primer..

probably as flat as you will get it.

Re: WOA flat white

yeah i can get pictures i have some but they are too big for this site so i gotta steal my sisters camera and take some new ones i just painted a f150 primer grey and it looks nice lol but anywho its 1:30 am so any pictures i take are likely to look like rawr right now and oh my half brother hit the back of my car and pushed it forward today with his truck becuase my grandpa was parked in "his" spot where there were three other places for him to park his truck at least so im just gonna accidently have some trouble getting my quad into the garage when his harley is in the way plus the punk took my gas >.<
