(This will give the paint sometime to gas out before berrying more material on)
The next step will be putting the car together to do the stripes and then dissemble for a re clear.
I have decided when it's dissembled to re clear for the stripes I'd re clear the roof, rear qrts, and back of the car since we will be re clearing the doors, fenders, hood and header for the stripes anyways.
I thought I would step up and re clear the back also then the whole car will have been sanded and re cleared for a total of 8 coats 4 coats then sanded with 500 flat and 4 coats more on top. Then we will sand and buff
Anyone that knows paint knows that this will give a nicer surface to lay the final clear down and no (less) die back.
I have put a ton of hours into this and this is the last step and most important.
I hope everyone understands this was a complete redo for Tony and I'm finishing it up in the best time I can without any charge on the project.
I put my own projects on hold for this car and I'm very exited to see it finished as much or more then the rest of you. We are coming to the end real soon.
Thanks everyone

Hey Brother....I am bummed about one thing and one thing only. That's how long it's going to be before I actually get to see the car in person. LoL You are doing a great job and everyone here appreciates the efforts and sacrifices you and your crew have put into Karma. When the time comes, I know without a doubt that you will give the same care and attention to my next project and trust me when I say that you will have all the time you need with it. I am sure there are many here that feel the same. You have rightfully earned the respect and trust from our community.
I can't say it enough....Thank You.
