You should have gone back over your 80 with 320. Then primed it. Im sure "you know what your doing" when your done there you can come help me with this... http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u298/pimpjettay2k/IMG_6454.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing worse than seeing a fresh paint job with sanding scratches in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 What they said, You have to keep in mind reflection shows more than your touch. Plus the cheaper product you are useing will not not be as forgiving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan218 Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 like is said before....this is ONLY TEMPERARY...IT WILL ALL BE TOOKEN TO BARE METAL AGAIN this is just to keep it protected from the elements as the stang sits out side in my driveway... why spend all that time sanding it smooth if im just going to sand it all back off in a month? no point in it...
