I finished my tins this weekend and had a few complications along the way-
I got some nasty orange peel in the primer...and apparently didn't sand it down far enough...b/c it followed me through the base, candy and clear-
I did end up covering it pretty good-but didn't realized how much I could wet sand and buff out until later in the day yesterday-
I was able to get a smooth glass like finish on the rear and front fender...but didn't notice I should've sanded and buffed more on the tank...until I had to leave for work-bad lighting indoors I guess-
I'm planning on re-renting the buffer Thursday morning to finish the job-
****S-I didn't realized how much I could sand off- since the Candy was mixed with clear...and I laid on like 3 heavy coats...then at least 2 heavy coats of clear...
So Its going to cost me 20 bucks a day to rent the buffer again-
Should I try to squeeze it in Tuesday night from 7-9...or is it ok wait until Thursday-
****...just wish I would've done the job right the 1st time-live and learn I guess-
The orange peel I'm trying to get rid of is-noticeable in the right light...but not really by touch-
It just gives you a blurry reflection though....which ****s b/c the fenders and the top of the tank turned out so well...its just the sides of the tank---just venting a little now-
Well at least I got my 1st paint job out of the way-
