Wet sanded with 2000 grit, buffed with Novus 2 & polished with Meguiars show car mirror glaze 

What paint did you use, and did you use any clear coat?

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.

Thanks, Hemi Orange, it does have a slight metallic

Very nice.... 

So you do not go through all the polishing pads up to 12000 grit? I find them a pain myself.

 

I don't go past 3000 grit, no reason for it

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.

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! :blink:
