Lol, would be a lot cheaper too (if your a friend of mine of course lol) if you sand and buff the whole car instead of painting.



Thanks

Yea, only thing is it looks like the car has different layers/shades of paint.....maybe from collision repairs.?

Would wetsanding help or would it be too risky ?

Yeah, seems like it was repaired/repainted because red is hard color to get the paint right.

Wet sanding? umm depends if you know what you are doing and before you do, you have to check how much clear coat is available in order not to burn through it and paint and see a metal under it lol.

Well my fenders and rear have def had some work done to it, and have different shades of paint. Would I be getting into trouble dealing with different paints?

Yeah, took me around 20 hours to complete just exterior of that car.

Like stated earlier, if you know what you are doing no, but if you don't know what you are doing, of course you will run into trouble.
