Have you ever looked into Maziora paint?
^No but I am now. I lived in Japan for a year and I all ways tryed to go in to body and paint shops but they would not let me
I like to see how other people do there prep and paint work. But every time I walked up I got the only thing they new in english "ah you go away way white boy!"

Im doing my wifes car a custom color in the next two weeks and PPG does not make this color so I had to go some were elseI feel like im cheating when I spray something else lol. Imo I do think PPG/Auto Color is the best paint line. But thats for were,how, and what I paint. I have used other paint lines at other shops and they worked for them.

Every car i have painted i have always wanted to flat sand with 1000 and reclear. But you know how you want to get things back together. Are you going to flat sand and buff? Im sure you dont have much peal but there is always some, you know how it looks when sanded and buffed.

Some day ill do a black car.
Base black then wetsand with 800 then clear. Block with 1000 and work my way up to 2000. Im sure that would be as flat and as mirror like it gets.
A 97 240sx perhaps?

If you are going to reclear there is no need to sand with 2000. You could just knock some of the peal out with 2000 and buff. We had some shi% that was called tryzack (check spelling). It was 3000 wet on a da It would buff up so fast.

If you block your base it will come off. The best way for a straight black car that i like. Paint the car with a single stage black. That is a base and a clear mixed. Wait around a week for the paint to cure. Sand the car back down with 600 or 1000 and reclear. The black will be so deep and look sick.

You have to start some were my G friend, do you think I started painting these kinds of jobs? lol nope! I dont get to just paint these colors, I work at the dealership so im mostly painting new cars. I have spent a lot of my own money and time getting good at this stuff. Every year I take my vacation time to go to a custom paint school because my work does not pay for custom training
Three years ago I went to a custom color school $250 per day for a week, last year three days at a custom airbrushing school $250 per day for three days, this year custom graphics $250 per day for three days. Plus food, gas, hotel, ect for each school. This month I have a custom airbrushing class im going to in CT $250 for one day, hotel the night befor, food, gas, day off from work. But you have to learn some howIf you want to be the best at somthing you cant hang out on the couch watching tv talking about it.
