Lookin' good...can't wait to see the finished product. Thanks for keeping us updated. House of Kolor is premium stuff...I'm having some shot on my front bumper right now. Had to get a new bumper due to a minor "incident", so I'm getting the best paint and a JDM Soarer emblem too.

did you just go to home depot and buy the sand paper and start sanding away? Is there a method to it? Like in circular motions or following the mold of the car? Cause I want to do the prep work on my Legend Coupe and then get it sprayed. I'm not changing the color I want the same color...

What problems did you run into?

Do you basically just sand off the clear coat and that's it? Do you have to wet the sand paper and then sand? What grit?

Sorry for all the ????'s

Your Coupe's looking...
