Grab a good paint thickness gauge. I personally wouldnt do much wetsanding on OEM paint.

Paint thickness gauge?

Never heard of that, how does it tell the thickness?

:icon17: while all the drunk's were drinking at the happy hour here ;)

I ate 2 dozen oyster's on the half shell :yum:

1 dozen boiled jumbo shrimp's :yum:

4 small but tasty lobster roll's :yum:

3 big bowls of guacamole :yum:

I sipped away on my tall cold glass of milk :tup:

-Clifford :tiphat:

Lobster rolls sound awesome

Found this.

:icon17: they were very tasty :tup:

When they have a happy hour anywhere I travel, I'm always the first one in the :yum: line

-Clifford :tiphat:

Thanks

I looked on Amazon and seems like they vary from $118 to $5465 :icon14:

That reference of the thickness is very helpful. I'm actually surprised it is even that. The clear is softer than hell no doubt about it. If I do wetsand and polish should look at a diamond coat overtop.

Nissan painted my Nismo ultra thin as well :tup:

No paint will be left after the first wet sanding :icon17:

-Clifford :tiphat:

:icon17: why did you wrap your 370Z :confused:

:ugh2: tried to wet sand it :roflpuke2::roflpuke2::rofl2:

:rofl2::rofl2:

:roflpuke2::bowrofl:

Too bad it's not as easy as spraying a bunch of coats of clear on and go to town on it lol

That would be nice.

Much orange peel on the quarter panels. Looks even worse when I use a detail spray or wax on it. Drives me nuts :driving::icon14:

Keep an eye on this thread for a badass paint job. :tup:

Then again it would only cost me about $600 materials and a weekend to reshoot the entire car.

Hmm..

Swapping performance parts on a brand new car is one thing but painting it with 2500 miles on the clock just because or some factory orange peel seems a little over the top :rofl2:

Hell if you got the skills and a place to shoot, why not? Go for it. :tup:

That is our brother Mr John :iagree:

The nicest and funniest man I have ever met from Phoenix, Arizona :tup:

-Clifford :tiphat:

Mr. Intense :rofl2:

Mr John's Waffle House in Phoenix is busy every day.

His wife gave birth to another child.. a daughter :tup:

John is a first class human being with a big heart :iagree:

-Clifford :tiphat:

I can shoot but don't have a booth. Could rent one though.

Not like I have time for that right now. Maybe I'll revisit that idea once it's parked for winter.


A really dark graphite instead of MB might be nice :)

Pretty wild build

Mr John is a pretty wild guy as well :iagree:

Many of us here on the forum met in Pomona, California last year 2015
for the unveiling of Mr Jason's Gale Force's show car

We all had a great time together in Pomona at the Autocon car show

A few even asked me for free dinner or comps :icon17:

-Clifford :tiphat:

Pulling out the GTI on its maiden voyage to work in 180. :p

Greetings from Fayetteville, AR.

Good am to all.

Painus... :ugh: definitely ate too much last night.

Going easy this am with the breakfast. Lol

But first need some good cup of Starbucks in hand. Brewing now. :D

Then going to check the lug taper on the GTI to see if ball or cone.

Ordering spacers for the rear..

I like that the factory wheels are readily available online. Think going to get some Blizzaks before winter.

:eek:

:hello:

Had fun driving the NISMO yesterday. :driving:

Ended up hanging out with my friends for way too long and got home late, now I'm tired. :yawn:

Enjoy your Monday, guys... It's pretty much the only way you can get another weekend. :D

Mmmm. Good pancakes my kid made. :yum:

Now relaxing with coffee in hand. :p
