[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16699051, member: 70025"] Okay everyone, I'm going to wait a couple more days before I go full force on this, but the clear coat instructions say I have to wait a minimum of 24 hours before sanding. It's been 48 hours. There was a spot on the drivers C pillar that was bugging me. It had some overspray on top of the orange peel and it was making it look dry. So, I decided to test it out and see if I could buff it out. If this area buffs out the rest of the car will come out great. I didn't take a picture of the C pillar because I was focusing on buffing it out. However, look at the reflection in the front of the door. It's hazy because of the orange peel. The C pillar was worse because of the addition of the overspray. [ATTACH type="full"]1728985[/ATTACH] Here is the front of the Driver's side QTR. Again, look at the red portion above the stripes and you can see how bad the orange peel is. This is because of my gun. I'm using a gun with a 1.4 spray tip and I should be using a gun with a 1.2 tip to spray clear. 1.2 would atomize the clear more and give me a smoother finish. It's no big deal, I'll just have more sanding to do during the cutting process. [ATTACH type="full"]1728986[/ATTACH] Here is the reflection in the QTR panel with the orange peel. [ATTACH type="full"]1728987[/ATTACH] And here is the reflection in the C pillar after cutting and buffing. I used a new system I found on that Paint Society YouTube channel. It's a dry sanding system and cuts quicker than the normal sand paper I was using wet. Dry sanding is great as I can use my air hose to blow the dust off and it doesn't leave a mess or white residue all over the side of the car and my garage floor..
