That stuff is like Liquid Gold. I use it for every paint job....even on my aviation subjects. 

Will be watching this beauty come together Bob.

G'day Bob, everyone loves the deuce and yours is going to be sweet. I have that kit, which I built fenderless. It's on my rebuild list and thank God I kept the fenders. Your build has inspired me. I'll be watching this one. 

Cheers,David. ??

I've been under the weather for the past week so haven't done much as far as bench time.  I felt good enough today to get a little paint on the 32 Coupe.  Paint is Tamiya X-1 Acrylic Gloss Black thinned with Mr. Color leveling Thinner 2-1.  I was really Leary about painting black but I think it came out ok.  I'll let this cure for a couple days then wet sand it then shot the Tamiya X-22 Clear over it.  After that it will get wet sanded again and polished it out.

That paint look perfect Bob, I think for my next 32 build I might actually use fenders haha.

Ok....I couldn't take it any longer.  I got out in the garage early this morning to check the paint.  It felt dry to me so I started wet sanding.  I decided to use 12,000 grit only as I did on my 65 Chevy II Gasser as it came out pretty good.  Here are some pics after wet sanding and after hitting it with the Tamiya X-22 Clear.  I think it came out pretty nice.
