wow...that looks fantastic. If you don't mind me asking, how much?

I've had parts of my car repainted, and I'm getting to the point where I'm starting to consider repainting my whole car. Pictures like this don't help me fight the urge to do it tomorrow

He said no sanding between coats. Looks really good.

There is no need to wet sand in between basecoats unless you just like to work.

Correct Burma just remember to Bake.

And make your paint fail early.

oh okay it just wasnt specified

is the wetsanding necessary for a good finish at the end?

DarylJ

Depends on what you think "good" is, and how well you paint. Mine needs a LOT of wet sanding, which will start happening soon. This car probably didn't "need" it, but I bet it looks abso****ingloutely perfect because of the extra effort.

When they are all done with the clear make sure you take the time to have it color sanded and then buffed and it will blow your mind.

If you are comfortable with the buffer you can easily do it yourself.

He said it's already been sanded to 2000. You'd have to assume its been buffed too or he'd be sporting the patchy flat black look.

Sharp. Very Sharp.

Force drying is not necessary, it adds zero durability. It is used to speed production in a shop. Of course shops like to market it as a durability enhancer. You'd be amazed at the number of shops that don't use the bake cycle due to high gas cost in the last few years.

If you want to cook something, try and Easy-Bake oven.
