thank you so much!! and you too 99v6camaro. do you think auto zone will have rubbing compound? i know thier sand paper selection isnt anything great. thanks guys.

as for haveing a car being 14, its because its wrecked and im fixing it. my dad though i was mature/responsiable anough to have a car. [img]graemlins/banana.gif[/img] i paid for it my self, including towing. and bough all the parts. so yea i dunno. :D

its no different than a dad giving his young son a muscle car to build for when he turns 16

walmart should have all the stuff you need

Ok, rubbing compound first, then 3M Hand Glaze. You'll have to rub the hell out of it.. but that should do the trick!

thanks shirl. ill keep everyone updated and post pics if they turn out decent.

[oh my Goth]

so how did it come out? post some pics if you have any

sorry no pics, no digital camera. came out real good though. i wet sanded with 2000 grit, then used a rubbing/buffing compound then waxed. came out real nice. the rubbing compound took away the cloudyness. i'll get pic eventaully.

I made the mistake of using clear with ceramic in it without realizing it, that made my red almost pink. Then i painted with lots of humidity and it did the same. I finally got it right and it came out very shiny, didnt use compound or sand after the clear either.

i painted mine when it was 100+ and super humid out. that was my first problem. i sanded in-between primer coats, and i had to wait alomost 5 hours to fully dry, or anough to sand and not just smear it all around. it looks good though, brighten up the car nice.

how hard was it to do your calipers? that might be next on my list. no school + 14 year old with car = lots of time. and im really bored. was it harder than the interior? thanks

not sure how bad your stuff is but I suggest 3m swirl remover and a buffer, just don't let it get to hot... but its done some miracles for me.

Just sand as smooth as you want, clean with brake cleaner good, tape off as well as you want, paint a couple coats, clearcoat and your done. Alot easier and quicker than interior.

I am redoing mine with camaro decals then clearcoat.
