yo ryan dogg its too bad you live in alaska and own such a sweet car that you cant drive very much. That is 75% of the reason im moving out of fairbanks. I only get about 5 months to drive my vert, it sucks.

hey nice work. i too will soon be repainting my FC...an 88 AE and white of course. i am thinking of adding a VERY slight coat of trasparent blue. the car will still be white but if you look at it at the right angle with enough light the finish will give off a VERY slight hint of sky blue.
ryan is right. 95% of the job is sanding, blocking, wet sanding, buffing...repeat about 1000 more times. patience and the willingness to do it RIGHT is key. DONT take any shortcuts.
hey ryan, dont tell me all you wore was that little mask when you shot the car?!?!! when i deal with that toxic paint i put on my "space suit" which has a full head mask with it's own line feed to a separate air compressor source. kinda expensive but much more safe and worth it!!!!
also did you find using a pearl coat hard to work with?
