well sanded a spot with some 1500 grit to get rid of the small overspray and orange peel then buffed it shines nice but i think i need 1 to 2 more coats of clear so i am going to wet sand it all then clear again then wet sand and buff for a liquid like shine [This message has been edited by engine man (edited 06-10-2019).]

Damn that looks good! Its totally an obsession! I knew id burn out on mine after I kept finding millions of tiny little defects to fix on the body, and I went on to other stuff. Take a break and get your other stuff done, cars pretty much done man!

ok today i cleared the trunk lid , hood & door skins and am learning the spray gun and have it adjusted better but i need to move faster or slow the flow down as i did get a run in the door skin but i did get a great shine so now i must sand the rest of the car and spray more clear [This message has been edited by engine man (edited 06-13-2019).]
