Thanks for the half props but why do people always have to point out what is and isn't a knock-off?

That turned out really nice. Of course, can't see the imperfections you mentioned due to the quality of the cell phone pics, but the wheel choice and color really go well with the white.

what kind of gun did you use for the clear? what compressor/ psi was going to the gun? did you re prep the car before you sprayed the next day? did you clean the **** out of the gun after you were finished? Honestly, if you take it to a body shop they will rape you man. Best bet is to re prep it and ask them to re clear it or do it again yourself with the right gun and amount of clear. If you need any tips just pm me.

I did re-prep the car, sanding, tack cloth etc... and I used my neighbors gun not sure what kind, but it worked fine the night before, and I sprayed thinner threw the gun to clear it out. I'm still lost. Oh yeah 40psi threw the gun, was that too much or too little?
