    Looks nice. Hope you don’t have an issue with the clear delaming as that clear coat is designed to go over water base..

    I asked the finish masters down the block and other people who have done this, I tested a 2 month dry headlight cover by sanding it and cutting it with a razor to test the inner coat adhesion, works just fine :cheer:

    Nice job! Fun driving cars, i had a 93 MX6 that i loved but wanted/couldn’t afford the RX7. Looks like it’s still a good solid car. Now i want one all over again.

    Thanks BUZZ,

    I used a satajet RP2 Digital John Kosmoski limited edition gun to spray this 93 R1 FD3S RX7.

    Looks good. Gotta love black…. what products are you using for your cutting and buffing??

    I have followed your videos on youtube, you do some nice work, we just need you to get away from the aersol primers! 😛

    Thanks smooth, I am using a dynabrade 3/32nd i think DA with the 1500/3000 trizact 3M with the compounds.
    After the 3000 machine DA sanding polishing it is a breeze!

    Thanks Nexson,
    true, but I let it dry for 48 hours before messing with it so it works out well, have not had problems with it since I use a coat of base first to seal it up then color sand and do the complete base/clear process.Have not had any wrinkles or shrinkage issues. I love using NCP280 and NCS1990 but being California, can’t get those so easy.

    Hey, I use them for 90% of my work :p

    As long as you treat them right and don’t expect them to cover much (I go 320 at least) some aren’t as bad as you think. We use Kent Ultrafill, available in several colours, and I wouldn’t be without it 🙂

    Nice job fella. Came out really nice!

    Thanks Andy T,
    I been using SEM products for about 5 years with no ill effects, love their aerosol products.
