another attempt at painting

Post by jimmy828 »

Was not satisfied with the first attempt of painting cab so i sanded it down without going through the first 2 coats to help with orange peel. My second attempt was much better with a lot less OP. I'm sure with wet sanding it should be alright. With 4 coats on it, i hope i don't sand past paint. I sure do dread all that sanding and buffing!!! Ignore the unpainted parts on dash, the darn rain want stop long enough to get back to painting :cry:

Looks really good Jimmy. How much anti orange peel did you add to your paint ? Practice makes perfect. Keep up the good work, you'll only get better each time you paint one.Good job!
