OP delivers!
Dat booty tho':
Smooth, like a good bourbon:
Lastly, the best shot of all - that sexy front end:
Four coats in, still on the first can. Should be pushing at least 1 more out, maybe 2. Then I'll buy another, crank out a couple more coats, sand 'er back, spray a few more times and enjoy the fruits of my labour.

Alrighty then! Update time!
I have sprayed my final coat before the wet sand. I'll leave it to sit for a week or so, then consider attacking it with my liquid soaked 1200. After that one or two more light coats, then done!
Home stretch now!

Long time coming but so keen! I wanna play I wanna play :P
If you're going to put more clear on then the highest you can sand with is 800p, 600 being better. Otherwise there is a real danger of poor adhesion.
Oh yeah, forgot to say, "that looks brilliant, those have always been my favourite colour combos and yours is sweet!"
good to hear from you Johnny. Is that what you did with your Riccy, only went to 600 grit wet sanding before the final coats ?

Cheers mate, I'll bear that in mind. I might go 800 then, since Pablo used 1200 and it worked out for him. I don't want to go too low, because I run the risk of sand through otherwise. 600 is a lot more abrasive than one might think. :POriginally Posted by johnnychronic
Haha! Nice little squeezed in afterthought.
Thanks man.

Hey Wokka, that's what I do with everything I clear, give it a bit of tooth, You don't need to go too heavy with the sanding West. My rule is enough to take off the shine and you're fine.
I guess I should mention I always use 2K polyurethane clear, that's what my advice covers.
Wokka; I also did a cut and polish after the final coats of clear.
