Enjoy the wet sanding, lol. Are you adding a clearcoat on top of the black? From looking through the series of pics, it appears that you shot 2 coats. If you plan on wet sanding, I recommend 3 full coats.

No guys, thats not the colour it will end up having!

That black paint its a nice quality paint, but we are just using it to spot hi or low spots on the body work.

This baby will have 4 coats of TITANIUM GRAY METALLIC and 4 coats of clear
