[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16266191, member: 70025"] As some of you know, I occasionally paint 57 Chevy bodies for my Dad. He told me he wanted a nice blue one. I thought what's a nicer blue than Sonic Blue? So, I decided to paint one of his cars Sonic Blue. However, this time I wanted to try a new technique when it came to spraying the clear coat. I sprayed the clear coat as normal. Then I sanded the clear coat with 2000 and then 3000 grit. This time, instead of polishing the clear, I decided to do a process called "Flow" coating and I resprayed the clear coat using a heavy flow. I can't believe how good it turned out. This car is a 1/12 scale and a good size bigger than the 1/18 Cobra's. So, I don't think I will try this with the Cobra's as I think the clear would "fill" in areas such as body lines or the "COBRA" lettering on the rear bumper. Anyway, just wanted to share a couple pictures. With flash showing how deep and rich the Sonic Blue looks. [ATTACH=full]1592565[/ATTACH] Without flash showing all the reflections of my cell phone in the trunk and my wife's karaoke microphone stand and ceiling fan in the roof.
