WET SANDING AFTER PAINTING

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ALLOW ADEQUATE DRYING TIME. IT IS CRITICAL. YOU SHOULD WAIT AT LEAST 24 HOURS BEFORE YOU TOUCH THE CLEAR COAT. AFTER DRYING FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, YOUR CAR WILL BE READY FOR WET SANDING AND BUFFING.
THE FINAL FINISHING STEP IN THE PROCESS OF PAINTING YOUR CAR, IS WHAT BRINGS OUT THE HIGH GLOSS AND THE MIRROR QUALITY SHINE IN YOUR CAR. WET SANDING AND CAREFUL BUFFING OR POLISHING CAN PRODUCE SPECTACULAR RESULTS, WITH A "WET LOOKING" FINISH. BUT BEFORE YOU CAN GET THAT RESULT, YOU WILL NEED TO SMOOTH THE FINISH, ELIMINATING SOME OF THE GLOSS IN THE CLEAR COAT. THEN, AFTER YOU HAVE SANDED AND THE FINISH IS SUPER-SMOOTH YOU RESTORE THE SHINE BY BUFFING AND POLISHING THE PAINT.

1971 FORMULA FIREBIRD

YEAH! MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN RESTORING MY 1971 FORMULA FIREBIRD FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW. THE CAR WAS PRETTY SOLID WHEN WE GOT IT. HE BOUGHT IT FROM CALIFORNIA, AND HAD A TRUCK HAULER BRING IT TO US! HE REPAIRED THE BODY DAMAGE AND HAS PRIMERED THE ENTIRE CAR. IT GOES IN FOR PAINT ON FRIDAY OF THIS WEEK! I AM SO EXCITED! THIS IS WHAT WE PICKED OUT FOR A PAINT SCHEME!
