Third coat - 2nd attempt

I work the graveyard shift and I usually start to paint at sunrise when I get out of work. You would think that 40 degree weather would keep bugs at a minimum. Well, not here in Florida. These bugs don't play. Its too bad, im starting to get really good reflection.

wet sanding - 2nd attempt

Sorry didn't take pictures, ran outta batteries! All I did was wet sand with 600g. I applied very little pressure while sanding.

Second coat - 2nd attempt

So far so good.

First coat - 2nd attempt

I thinned down the paint mixture to the consistency of low fat milk. Now I think im heading in the right direction. The key here is thin thin thin layers and paint.

OK. Lets try this again.

Practice makes perfect, right? 220 grit works great as an "eraser".

1st and 2nd coat wetsand

As long as I keep the surface moist, wet sanding should be no problem. unfortunately this is my first time wet sanding anything. I over-did it and burned right through the paint.

Second coat

As usual, prepping the surface is vital to painting pretty much anything. I just laid down the 2nd coat. According to the guys over at the Moparts Forum, ive laid down my 2 coats way too thick. I should be getting complete coverage on my 4-5th coat!
