How many guys do you have to help you?..I'm slow..it takes me at least an hour just to mask off for paint. If you're gonna get it all done in a day you better be up before dawn....

P.S. Get 3, maybe 4 good full coats of clear and then wet-sand with 2000. Keep away from the edges and you'll be fine. If any doubts, pay someone to cut and buff. It will look so much better.

G. How long should the clear harden first? A week?

It depends on temperature mostly. You can wet-sand the next day. For polishing, I like to wait about 3 days. Do it too soon and you will probably get some die-back of the gloss. You can buff around the door handle, mirror and antenna areas the next day so you can start assembly.

I will likely be giving the clear more than a week to harden. This week is zero hour for me, next week is law school. So Thursday and Friday I'll put her back together and give her a nice detail so she is driveable again. Then it's off to law school. So the cut and buff wil happen whenever I get around to it.

I don't have anyone helping me in the morning as of yet. Bill will show up at around 11am, he has a doctors apointment that morning. So I'll get this started all by myself, unless someone wants to volunteer to help mask.

Be careful with the time before wet-sanding, as the clear gets much harder to wet-sand the longer you wait. You might have to get more aggressive with the sandpaper, maybe 1500. Then go to 2000. G/L with school.

UPS just f*cked me tonight, promised that they'd have my gun here by today...

So I asked Art, KameleonGT if he could hook me up tomorrow morning. And he lent me his Sata instead, which is actually better than the gun that I bought. He saved the day big time. Now I'm good to shoot tomorrow.

Pray for me.
