Fantastic color choice!

Can you expand on how you used a guide coat on clear, please? Do you mean like using a guide coat when blocking primer?

Thank you all!

A little further on wetsanding clear with guidecoat. I first knock down the clear flat with 600 grit, once thats broke open the guidecoat will stick like it would just for primer. Only use it up to 2000, after that the finer grits wont take it off. I use to struggle really bad with buffing, Id always see heavier scratches that would always need more attention after compounding. By using the guidecoat it gaurantees me that every inch of that panel is eliminated of heavier scratches before I move on. It makes the compounding step much quicker and I'm not going back over areas time and time again.

If you have time, check out this link. I go back to these tips time and time again, and my work has improved 100 percent.

That's awesome. I had no idea you could guide coat clear. It makes sense but it sounds scary that you're putting paint on top of clear.

he's not using crappy spray can guide coat. he is using powdered guidecoat. since the car is so dark I'm going to guess he used mirka white powder guidecoat

i actually used black, because its what i had. took alot of light in the shop to see it all. but yes, mirka guidecoat. actually using it right now on a car im painting for a friend and it makes buffing so much easier. no chasing heavier scratches with compound or going back with wetsanding again.
