so what I need to do is block it out and respray
it with more primer and do it over again?
Doesn’t that defeat the purpose?

Stone, think what you want… what you see are the first cars I have painted, and that was about 2 to 3 months ago. I have nothing to prove by lying about this. Sorry you feel like that.

Auto_guy, I bought my products from a place called Meza Paint. Located in Escondido on Washington ave. 760-432-0797

Thanks mocoke… Im not sure why but some of the text
is missing off the side of the page. Is there a setting
for this so I can read everything.
I have tried to use the – + text box on the top of
the page but didnt help.

Thanks guys… as for the materials used, I used Omni base
with European CC as that’s what the owner picked out at local
paint supplier. After going back to them and talking about
the paint materials I picked up they said that the clear
doesn’t have any or I should say barely have any UV protection.
I was pretty surprised that they or anyone for that matter would
sell crap like that. Good thing all the cars I painted are
kept in doors and hardly driven. They should be okay. :unsure:

Next time I will pick up better quality materials.

I picked up a spray gun from them called StartingLine.
It came with two guns and a case with a few cleaning tools.

Maybe if I am lucky, I can win the Tekna system. :exci

As for the cut and buff… I used a waterbug sander with 1000 and then 1500 very lightly and I hand sand all the tight area’s.

I polish it with a white wool pad using 3M compound,
then I use edge 2000 Wave foam pad with 3M swirl remover,
then follow it up with a 3M blue pad 3M ultrafine #3 to
totally remove any scratches or swirls.

If you use Micro fiber towels you wont see any
scratches or marks at all in the reflection of the paint.

This painting stuff is all new to me as I am really trying
to learn my way through it.

The 62 Impala was the first car I painted then the 28 and
69 camaro.

I am about to paint a long bed for my inlaws pickup that will be grey. That will be a nice change since everyone wants black.
