Re: new paint
LOL! You could at least take teaser pic before starting a thread about your new paint job. I'm sure your stoked, and take a ton of pics when you get it back!

Re: new paint
Do you have to give the paint time to set up/cure for awhile before buffing. I know you cant wax it for a couple of weeks at least.

Re: new paint
The longer you wait to cut and buff the harder the job gets as the clear will harden over time. Usually the next day (without the use of a heated booth) is good.
