Hold on there killer. I appreciate the compliment, however, There is much more experience and talent on here than I can deliver. I get lucky sometimes, but remember even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.

4-5 coats of clear. if layed out right.that is plenty of clear to take down that orange peel with 1500/2000. when a compound buff/foam glaze. you should be good.

thats a right and wrong ? reason being it depends on how thick or thin the painter lays the clear down but on the other hand ur right a good 2-3 layers should be enough.theres a body shop in saftey harbor were my old shop use to be and he uses half a gallon up to a galllon of clear for the show cars he paints, even hondas

haha wow, you know nothing about painting do you?

orange peel is when you are spraying clear on thick and the gun is to close to the surface you are painting.. thus the air coming out of the spray gun makes slight ripples in the clear.


wet sanding and buffing will take everything out, just dont start wet sanding under 1000.. preferably 1500 then work your way up to 2000
