Quick tip, when you color sand or wet sand its physics. once you wet sand the surface of the paint (clear coat), you bring the angular clear coat to a more even parallel transition from paint to clear thus of caorse reducing imperfections, and reflectivity and clarity is immensely increased. (After I took physics and optics this actually pushed me to wet sand and spend money on a paint thickness gauge). After first initial wet sand I have about 40 hours plus in buffing to make sure each panel of every phase came out perfect. Last stage which is polishing creates the up most brilliance. I polish every two months bc with sf 4500 you remove so little clear and increases shine and jewels the surface that much more

.I'll probably practice some wetsanding on my hood since it needs to be resprayed anyways that way if I mess up the paint it's no loss.

He's a super nice guy in person too. Met him a few times when I was in the corvette world.

Wow, polishing every 2 months, you must have alot of time on your hands, lol. I only have time to do a quick sealant wax with the porter cable every 3 months.
