yeah that fender came out nice!
yup, the close up pic shows the orange peel a bit more. but it looks like you got a good thick layer of clear to work with to smooth it all out ...so you should be dandy. And yes be carefull not to burn through!....that would be a bummer.
I had a mustang painted a couple years ago and the guy that buffed it went to deep on a body line and ended up scorching the paint a bit. otherwise the rest of the car came out flawless. and had a heck of a shine to it.
I know what your going to....ive been at my project duster for about 3 years now and im itching to get it done and over with already so I can just enjoy driving it and cruising with my family. I have enjoyed working on the project....don't get me wrong, but its been and up and down roller coaster due to funds,weather,space,labor intensive fix's,lack of help, hard to find parts, and the list goes on.
but I am in the "home stretch now. Just need to finish knocking out the body work so I can get some primer on it. then its just a matter of waiting for some nice consistent weather to lay color and clear.
but its awesome you will have it pretty much ready to go in time to get a summers worth of cruising out of it and some good family fun. thumbs up to you on all the A+ work and be sure to thank your buddys for any help ....id love to have some friends that would be willing to help me on my project but they are all to scared to get dirty or are the type that dont do nothing for anyone unless they get something out of it ( also the type that forget about everything you have done for them lol) thats been a big hold up on my duster is pretty much tackeling it all by myself from top to bottom.
love the color on the dart though and cant wait to see it buffed out!
