Wondering where you painted your car? did you make a booth in your garage? Great Job:cool:

In garage, no booth, I just made sure the floor was wet. It really was a lot of work. The wet sanding alone was a pain. Then the buffing . This was my first paint job and there was a lot of trial and error. I think it would be alot easier next time. Black doesnt help either. Any other color would have been a breeze.

Good luck.

I used two rubbing compounds with a six in orbital. 3m rubbing compound then turtle wax rubbing compound. I finished it off with Liquid glass polish.

Without the trial and error, this was my first paint job, I could get by with about 4 qts of color and about 8 qts of clear.
