and get the auto-x's, black with red lip

 

ok auto x look nice huh... i know it look ugly to you guys but hey something diff arent you guys tired of seeing nice fancy paint job j/k but i dunno i think it will look better when its lowerd and with nice rims

 

yummy

 

auto x's ftw

 

Well, i think right now the satin doesnt look as satin'y' as its gonna get. I think cleaned up and a little lower it will look nice.

 

^^ yeah your right needs more clean up and a lil bit more touch up

 

properly done satin paint from a can ... its all about the wet sanding

you wet sand the paint .. clear coat is NOT the only thing that gets wet sanded on a paint job .


After i sprayed my car i went over and wet sanded the entire car with 1200 and 2000 grit which removed ALOT of the blotchness and tiger stripes you get when spraying something from a can. plus wet sanding the paint makes the car smoother and easier to dry off and clean, when compared to the rough texture spray painting normal has

 

so after you wet sand with 1200 then 2000 what about the clear coat if you wanted to clear coat it? would you still wet sand the clear coat with a 1200 and 2000?
