    Looks great do you know the process he took painting that in a garage? How long did he let it sit without touching it? How many coats of clear are on it.

      He let it sit for a couple of days and I believe he said there was 6 coats of clear coat. I'll ask and make sure.

            Well the car had a crappy paint job on it that needed to be removed. I traded my old dune buggy and 900.00 cash to get it done. it was worth it! that was for paint, labor, everything!

                looks Good. But I sure hope he didn't put 6 coats of clear on their!

                  I'll have to check with him on that, I'm not sure but I am happy with the way it looks!

                    Yup 6 coats is way overkill, plus typically the wait time to let the clear tack up before the next coat doubles.

                    1st coat
                    15 min wait
                    2nd coat
                    30 min wait
                    3rd coat
                    45 min...

                    You get the idea lol that would be a long wait!

                    Looks great!!

                      Yes sir, and if you going to do more than 3 coats, you cant do it in one day. Your gunna have to sand it with 400-500, and then you can do a "flow coat". More than 3 coats will never cure. Im sure you know all this Mike.

                          Yup, 2 is ok but imo, for sanding and buffing, 3 is nice, More than 3 is a no.

                            Thanks, I am asking for the obvious reasons how much clear is that in terms of volume?

                              About a gallon. And ask away.
