Re: Painted today
Nice work! Turned out better than my first attempt that's for sure... My K9 helper escaped from the house (someone let him outside) and he made his way in to my booth, had a dog hair on the wing immediately lol.
It sounds like you've done this a time or two though.
I'm on a course right now that is basically a jack of all trades for aircraft structural repair and in my painting phase at the moment, I can't wait to paint my next car once I'm finished. (Doing a camaro for the Newfoundland Targa with a grey fighter jet scheme with Canadian military air craft markings)

Re: Painted today
Looks Great !
Very nice job !
Is that water born paint or solvent.
If its solvent with that many coats is going to take a very long time to fully cure.
My suggestion is when its time (I waited 3 months)use a Synthetic Polymer Paste that will breathe and continue to allow it to "fully "cure. Not to mention shine like glass.
You just hand buff it on lightly, wait for it to dry and wipe it off .Do it once every 2 or 3 months and wash it with a soap that has no wax in it. Actually you never use any product that contains wax because it will smother the car.
My painter suggested Synthetics , and that was 6 years ago.
Here's what I use = http://www.meguiars.com/en/automotiv...ate-wax-paste/
Here's what my paint loos like now. Even after all that time =
