Getting close to done!; *UPDATE* DONE!!!!!!!!!!!

Sanding between coats does help produce that 'dive right into' paint job. Labor intensive, but certainly worth it.
if a piece of trash gets burried in clear, you wet sand down the top layer if material, that piece (nib) is in the layer beneath and too late to get at it.

Clear will stick to sanded clear. How does he get clear to stick to rubbed out smooth non sanded clear? I've always sanded & rubbed my clear after my last coat of clear, not before my last coat of clear. Pic below for example. Did this Camaro 2 days ago. LEON.

Hemi-

Im not sure on the process and I may have the order wrong. I've seen his past work and what this one looks like so far and im flat out impressed. I guess what im trying to say is he could tell me he's using unicorn horn dust to sand the car and I wouldn't know the difference but his past work warrants my trust on the Charger. I'm not a paint and body guy which is why i'm paying someone to do it.

BTW that Camaro looks great, nice work!

I'm with Hemi-Hampton- are you sure he's putting clear on top of buffed/polished clear?

[RKCHARGER]

AGAIN, let me be clear no pun intended........NO I AM NOT SURE OF THE PROCESS>  I could be and most likely am wrong ....... I am not a paint guy........This is all the man does for a living and knows what he is doing. If it is not common practice to polish the clear he is most likely not doing so and i've interprted the info wrong........Maybe he was sanding between coats of paint not clear. Sorry about all of the confusion.

After the first clear is wetsanded and another coat of clear is applied and buffed again it ensures the clear is LAZER straight and no orange peel whatsoever ... show car all the way.

Looks awesome!

I never sanded between coats, and I had pretty good results.

[hemi-hampton]

I understand the sanding between coats to denib the base, I do it all the time. I understand the sanding clear to, Just don't understand the way he said it, he made it sound like 1 coat clear, then sand & rub, 2nd coat of clear, then sand & rub, 3rd coat of clear, then sand & rub. Nobody does it that way. I just think he worded wrong. Which confused me. LEON.

Amazing looking car, I Dig the Hood! makes it look mean and personal.

The only time I have sanded clear to add more clear to it was to level out the paint after adding stripes and such.  It makes it easier to get a flat surface without the risk of sanding through it.  On a regular paint job I don't see the point but it's the end result that counts so as long as it looks good, nobody will care how it got there.

Yeah, I did that to a AC Cobra I painted Silver wih 2 black strips about 20 years ago. LEON.

Sorry for the choppy photos but i had to resize them to about 10% of thier original size.    Almost complete though and I could not be any more happy with the results.
