Congratz sir, so it is balloon white?

Thanks still have ways to go!!   

I tired a few test sprays with the Tri coat balloon white and it looked great, but to do the whole car would be a bridge to fa,r for the skills that I have. Next time  ?!?!

Using the 3m Trizact for wet sanding.

1500 grit
3000 grit
8000  girt  all with the DA, by the time you get to 8000 it is really pretty shiny.

Just a spray bottle and microfiber towel, very clean

then the perfect it 1 step with the purple pad.

I will never use a wool pad again!!

Result are impressive and so effortless, it is actually enjoyable

Cleaned up the crud from blocking on my brakes and suspension.  Pretty dirty

Used a little high heat clear to keep the rust at bay, not sure how long it will last but better than nothing.

First attempt at vinyl wrap for the inner latches will be used for the front trunk release which is not visible.

Next attempt at wrapping should see a lot of improvement

 Definitely a better result than when using the chrome paint.

After six month off, an MRI,  couple of steroid shots in my shoulder and some PT, I am back on the REDO.

A lot of rain this May in Western WA, glad to have some sun!!

High build primer,  a couple of body lines and to fix but over all pretty happy how it came out.

The primer blocks out beautifully!  Much less work than FFG2

All that detailed work will pay dividends in the final paint. Great job. Thanks for posting updates.

I have OCD issue, lol   its gotta look great or what is the point of all the work?

FFG2 cover most of the pinholes but a few remain.  Using evercoat metal glaze ultra to fill these

Thought this blocking 180 grit could be used but even with 80 the FFG2 clogs the paper up a bit

Lines and panels really coming along with this blocking

Second application of FFG2.

Really dialed my gun in and it flowed a lot better with minimal orange peal
no reduction 2.0 tip and a D cap with 4.9 psi on a 5 stage turbine.

Used about a gallon
