Default can someone wet sand my car?

I know there's a thread for this, but it's only to post names of shops, not request services. Anyways, the shop where my car is getting painted doesn't have time to wet sand it, so I need someone that can do it this week.

They said that wet sanding makes the paintjob look better and have a deeper look but it is not required.

Wetsanding is just a process of sanding a painted car with a very high grit 1500-2000 sandpaper. To smoothe the clear coat. Its not involved with painting. You can wet sand a brand new car.

yeah,u wetsand a car after the paint is cured..usually 90 days after its painted,if you havent done it before or dont know what your doing id suggest you find someone who does because its a bitch and its very very touchy and im sure u wouldnt wanna have a spot where u sand through the clearcoat or through the clear and paint.

Wetsanding can be done whenever. My brother Bryan (351coupe) is fucking excellent at that kinda stuff. He does it for a living, and he's done plenty of peoples' cars on this board who can vouch for him. He's on vacation right now, but if you want to check out what he'll charge and stuff, drop him a PM and he'll get back to you when he returns, or tell me and I'll call him right then and give him your # or get back to you.
