Here it is after I finished wet sanding with 1500, then 2000, then a really good rub with rubbing compound and polishing compound, followed by a light spray of wax.

Note- Theres a little shine from the flash and the wax in the pics

Input?

Theres very minimal orange peel, maybe lightly in a few areas, it looks better than factory but not by enough to stand out. I could have wet sanding it heavier to smooth out all the clear but I didnt want to make it look too good. The end result is perfect imo //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Now the car needs a good cleaning, run down with rubbing compound and polish, and a nice waxing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Total cost to the customer for the materials was under 200 bucks. Payment on the side was a favor //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

What minimum size compressor would you ideally need to run that spray gun you linked?

I would say a 60 gallon tank with a couple ponies on top and it should do fine //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

But for real if anyone is interested in painting their car Ill help you with the prep and what not and spray it for you for cheap, as long as you pay for materials. Just pm me and let me know.
