And the race is on. Must restore car before cows.. must restore car before cows.. Very Happy

Anyway, here are some pics..

Last week:

And tonight.

This was the damaged quarter.

Can you believe this is slinky's door??

The roof where it was buckled.

Also started wet sanding tonight. Got a bit more dust in this paint then last time. Think it will all come out ok though.

I'm loving that color. Looks similar to mine in direct sunlight, minus all the imperfections. Good choice. Although I've heard that you want to wait a while before you start wet sanding. Something like a couple of weeks? That's just what I've read. Hope you get it done in time.

WOW!!!! that looks amazing. that is darker then before right?

sooo.... how much would you charge a fellow crewbie to paint a car? Cool

You couldnt afford it tony. .I actually hate painting. This is the exact same color as before.. in fact some of the paint is from before. Dupont says its best to cut and polish this clear any time from 2-72hrs after its sprayed. "for best results" Every type of paint is different, best to check with the manufacturer of what you're using.

dang...

i have never painted a whole car before, but my main issue is nowhere to paint. my apartment complex might look down on me painting in their parking lot. Laughing

Awesome you didn't let them total it out!

It be awesome to cruise by the place that wanted it as a total to show them what they're missing out on. Very Happy

A few pics from tonight. Taking a long time to cut/buff. Really coming out with good reflective properties though. Here's how the hoods coming out. Check out the reflection of the bench in the last pic. Rest of the car still has to go through a couple of buffs with fine/swirl/glaze yet.
