I finally took the time to wet sand my car and remove most imperfections. I used 1200 grit sand paper followed by 3000 grit and finished it with an orbital buffer and polisher.

Whats up!
you should try shooting your car against less busy backgrounds. Your choice of color contrast is nice, but the details of your car are lost against the schoolbusses and architecture.
Keep up the good work.

I got a question... i was considering getting a cheapo paintjob (around 700)... now if it isnt the best surface, I can still wet sand the final product it like you did and might come out better?

yeah... wet sanding, buffing and polishing will remove most imperfections in the clear coat. Such as.....orange pee, drips, nibs, and some scratches.

Geez man,
There have been like 4 or 5 different requests for the color, and you haven't answered any of them, yet you answer other questions. I've asked you before in another thread and you didn't answer there either...could you PLEASE tell us what color that is?

My nuts aren't in a bunch, it just drives me crazy when people don't even acknowledge the question. You could've at least said I'd rather not say...or whatever...but at least acknowledge the question...that's all. No harm, no foul.

Well, since it's a family color, then there's no way, he's going to tell anyone on here, what color it is. Overall, you did a good job Black. There seems to be a lot of 240's for sale now in my area, and it's surrounding areas. Anyways, I like it alot. Especially the wheels.
