[QUOTE="john_anch_ak, post: 14330940, member: 39531"] I repainted my '99 Cobra in my garage, never did anything like that before and sure as hell won't do it again!! Painting wasn't the hard part, wet sanding was the hard part and took many, many hours starting with 600 grit and ending with 2500 grit, but when I look at the paint job on new cars and compare my car to them I see a ton of "orange peel" and on my car I don't see any "orange peel" and I get nothing but compliments from everyone who sees my little pony car. I pulled up next to a Dodge Charger the other day and was totally discusted by the "quality" of the factory paint job. The garage had to be spotless and I put 3 different filters on the air compressor to make sure no water got through, used both intake and exhaust fans, full paint suit and high dollar breathing mask, (which was worth every cent!). I put 4 coats of clear on but wish I had added a couple more. Still, I'm happy with how it turned out and that it looks so much better than any factory paint job! [/QUOTE]
