The bird is Finally painted!!! Reply #19 – July 01, 2007, 02:02:02 PM Looks good man. Nice job on laying down your own paint. The colour reminds me of Hawk's TC. Personally I think some polished or chrome 17/18s would look awesome with that colour. Quote Selected

The bird is Finally painted!!! Reply #21 – July 01, 2007, 06:46:16 PM The longer you wait the harder it is to buff. Give it about 6 hours and its ready to wet sand and buff. That is one thing at work I hate is having to buff fully cured paint, its hard as hell. Quote Selected
The bird is Finally painted!!! Reply #22 – July 01, 2007, 08:17:01 PM how the hell do you wet sand and buff wet (soft) paint? I gave the test area I did the night to cure and tried to sand it off and it just rolled up and gummed up the paper. Here are a couple more pics without the hood scoop. :p :D Quote Selected

Drying time on mine was 30 minutes at 120* Quote Selected

The bird is Finally painted!!! Reply #27 – July 01, 2007, 10:20:03 PM This better? I didnt post any drivers side pics, because my crowning acheivment on this car has been that fender scoop:hick: . :D It is just a single stage paint, not two stage. I will give it a week or two then wet sand it out and put on another coat it I have to.Quotelooks tons better without the hood scoopI agree sleeper. Quote Selected
