Whoever asked for some pictures in the sun here you go. The last picture is what I meant by the cracking of the paint but its kind of hard to see. You can see some ripples though.Clear Coat:

What did you use for cleaner before you sprayed?Also Did you do panel by panel, or just straight run through with cans on the ready?

Really man, that came out fantastic!

After I made sure everything was sanded to what I was looking for. I sanded it again with 400 grit but with the hose running on the sand paper so it just glided on the surface. Then I washed the car with dish washing detergent. Main part is to make sure nothing is left so I pretty much just kept rinsing the car for 30 minutes. Let it dry for a few hours. Parked it in the garage and took a tack cloth to it. then started painting. Yea I did the whole car at once.

It stared to hurt after about 8 minutes. So I bought one of those comfort grip attachments.

Ive got more pictures i recently took. Cant post them though. Edit: Ive emailed photobucket because it says I posted the same pictures on 2 more websites. I only posted them on here. Hopefully the pictures will be re hosted. I dont have a card to pay for an upgrade on my account.

My photobucket account is goint to be reset in 7 days for bandwidth . So I made an account on another site: I wish the interior looked as good as it does outside . Ive already bought the carpet and some trim pieces that were installed but you cant see in the photo. All I need is a dashboard and seats. Getting a new radio hopefully Wednesday since I finally fixed the wiring on that.

I emailed them because I didnt post these pictures anywhere else. I think someone else did so they pretty much used all of my bandwidth. I would rehost them on this website but dont have the time tonight.

Photobucket has a max bandwidth usage of 10gb a month. I supposedly passed that today. I have 7 days to wait for the pictures to come back . I probably wont be able to handle this so ill just buy one of those visa gift cards and pay for the upgrade and order a new shift boot tomorrow after school.

Well you can see how bright the paint is in the photos. I just used the regular Gloss Protective Enamel. It was like $4 per can. DO NOT use their clear coat on the paint though. It will ruin the paint badly. If you do the paint is going to lift a little and start cracking badly.
