Default First Paint Job

OK, not a Motor Bike, but first actual paint job without all the rattling! We learned alot from this experience, mostly how to wet sand orange peel
Don't freak out if your paint job looks bad at first, as long as you have 3 or 4 coats of clear you can wet sand and buff it to a nice finish, when this first rolled out it had no depth, shine and was bumpy, as long as the paint sticks it can be worked until right.





heres what it looks like while wet sanding, it's scary to take sand paper to a new paint job!

believe it or not, it's my son's first car! Man, my 20th car was no where near this nice. Imagine driving to high school in a 40 year old car, when I was a senior that would have been a 1940's era vehicle!
