So long deteriorating clear coat =)
Oh yea! Took a while to wet sand the piece of crap clear off, but I just sprayed the first coat of paint! I'm very proud of this because this is the first time I've mixed the paint and used an air compressed spray gun. There's a few run offs around where the primer is because of my old burden of a dent is, but that'll wet sand off. Hopefully I'll just need to put on one more coat or 2 and on to the clear coat! Other than that I'm impressed by the turn out...the paint is very well mixed to my PR4 code! Pic!

Basically....it's all about the prep. This is my daily driver so I really can't spend a week on sanding.

Well...it took a long time...but I finally got everything evened out. I stopped the painting on Saturday, but I let the clear coat settle for a few days. I just completed color sanding and I'm (for the most part) done with the buffing.
The end result came out the way I wanted it....no orange peel and a clean look. Just look at the picture with the fluorescent light...it's awesome! The only problem I have is that my buffer sucks...so there are still small scratches visible from the color sanding. Maybe if I feel like putting money into a faster one, I'll finish it up. Pics! This was all done for under 100 bucks by the way.
