Is Valspar a decent paint company? Thats the brand I went with when we painted the car. I used ALL Valspar supplies. Hope y'all don't tell me any horror stories! Rodney...

Thanks for the feedback guys. I wet sanded for 4 hours sat and sunday, buffed it with 3m compound, then with finess-it, then hand waxed. Finished tuesday nite and it turned out great! Ya'll gave me some good tips and I had the confidence to git it dun. Pics to follow. Thanks again. dancin_banana.gif

I hear ya! I'm going to tint the windows next then I'll post some pics. I don't want ya'll to see my unfinished interior! I just put on a new dash cap I scored on ebay but that's all I've done to the inside other than installed the cage. Needs new carpet, door panels, paint the cage, install all plastic trim etc... I got way more time than $! :lol:

It's just old school single stage acrylic enamel Dennis. It did turn out ok for my first time I think. I should've sanded it a bit longer but after 4 hours of sanding, I was DONE! I'm going to throw some tint on the windows then I'll post a few pics. Thanks for the good tips! =D>

Hey singl stage a/e is good paint as long as you used the hardener. Glad to see you didn't buff thru the paint. Can't wait to see the pics.
