Love the color. Is the spot in the color coat or the clear? If its in the clear you could use a brush and fill the spot with clear and then polish it out.. looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks guys!

The dot is the one you can see above the C pillar in the pics.......it is near the edge. After some thought though, I could do a two tone....like a darker roof or something.

Make a surf board rack and have it mount where the spot is. Paint up a couple kool long boards and throw them on top!!!!!!!! Just my two cents!!!! LOL

WOW, the amount of customizing you have done here is incredible mate, and they all work perfectly each other, and that paint!!!!!!!!!! Just beautifil!!

Well thank you Dale! I am glad you like it mate!

Beautiful paint. Is that already polished?

Thanks Kevin! Nope, that was just with the clear cured enough to touch it.

Alright guys, I went at it tonight after work and wetsanded the roof down to feather out the darn dot. After wetsanding, I shot the roof edges in Black Pearl and buried all the burn through, next I shot over the Black Pearl with a nice misting of Pink Pearl, then I Kandied over the whole roof with Kandy Pink, and finally buried it all under 3 more coats of Lacquer Clearcoat........looks pretty darn good now! No pics until tomorrow though.......I want it all to dry thoroughly before going near it again!!

Thanks for following!! B)

Outstanding

Thanks Ben!!

:lol: Took pics last night......but it was dark outside so the artificial light made it look just like the above pics. In the right ambient light you can REALLY see the Pearl pink in the roof and the top of the beltline.

I will try to get some shots in outside ambient light after work......depending on what time I get out.
