This is my first attempt at a primer/base/clear job.This fender was a mess,fixed a couple small dings,primered with 2k then blocked with 320.Reprimered,then blocked again with 320.Shot 3 coats of light saphire blue matallic.Then 4 coats of clear,all in 4th Demention.I then sanded and buffed it out.I did not use a booth,the bodyshop manager was painting his jet ski parts in the booth that night,I had to shoot it in a open RV bay.All in all I think it's ok for a first timer:D I'm gonna do a couple more pieces then I'm gonna do a car.Let me know what ya think,thanks.

The fender was just one of many Mustang body parts I have in my attic:lol: I wish I could get clearer pics of the matallic,but the digital cam pics are worse than my i-phone pics.Thanks again Krucial,for your help and complements.

looks real nice. Obviously it isn't the first thing you buffed :lol:

I just used some of the 3M Ultrafine 3000 for the first time, it sure makes short work of black.

i would have used 400 or 600 wet to block the primer for a metallic lessens the chance of sand scratches and it will be even smoother

Thanks for the advise,I'm a profectionist so this helps.I was worried if I used anything lighter than 320 I would have to deal with sticking issues.Amazingly,there are no sand scratches,I guess I must of put alot of coverage on it.
