No amount of wetstanding/buffing will fix that paint. > It was a completely budget paint and looked great when I first did it. > You’re gonna laugh. I actually went to walmart and got somewhere around 12 cans of primer, 12 cans of lacquer blue and 12 can’t of acrylic clear. > Lauquer paint works fine under the acrylic, but if you want to do a base clear touchup where you need colour then don’t put the lacquer on top of the colour. Worst thing you can do guaranteed. > > Did it all in my garage at the cold end of fall with a heater. It was 10 - 12degrees celcius outside and probably around 15 inside. > Surprisingly it came out really good and held up for the first few months. I actually drove it every day that winter until March when I changed jobs and decided to get a true beater car (Audi CoupeGT) > All in all I had a crappy setup to begin with. I forced it through the harsh winter/salt/snow before it ever really cured. Didn’t treat it properly when I stopped driving it and that’s that. > Now I can actually afford to get a better paint job when I get it back up.
