My painting skills aren't great and my paint garage/tent with no air flow kind of sucks but this is where I'm at now...

I'm cutting and buffing for the first time due to dirt in paint, orange peel and fish eye lol but at least it's fun to make a turd shine lol!!!

Still gotta do the rest of the car so I hope my wet sanding water bucket doesn't freeze or cause frost bite!!!

Looks damn good for being painted in a tent. Did you use a single stage paint? Keep up the good work looking forward to seeing more of it.

I used base coat/clear coat... I just bought the Nason products from oreillys. The wet sanding is the key to helping it because before the wet sanding the reflection of the light looked blurry! I need to see it in some good sunlight to see if I need to wet sand anymore areas!
