espo Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Your paint job looks "as smooth as a new babies bottom". I like the color, most any shade of Orange is good with me, the polishing really turned out perfect. The pictures make the Orange look like there is a hint of metallic in the paint.

Sledsel Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Very nice.... So you do not go through all the polishing pads up to 12000 grit? I find them a pain myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find them a pain myself. I like them. They are pretty useful in knocking down orange peel on primer for paint prep. Though I hardly sand clear coat anymore. I just use a polishing compound unless the orange peel is particularly rough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Wow, what an amazing finish! By coincidence, I am right now finishing up a '69 Charger 500 in nearly the same color with black tail stripe, and when I opened the thread the first pic gave me a strong sense of Deja Vu for a second or two!
