Friday night - 2012 Red Candy GT Premium automatic (19" wheels, rear sensing thing, spoiler delete - ? (good or bad))

I want to thank everyone that helped my on my 6 page - "So I missed end of month..." thread.

Thanks to all for the great support and specially:

Very Special thanks to
JDWalton and Mrski - You helped make this happen with your advice and kindness and I owe you.

First automatic Mustang GT out of 5. Will be posting about this here as I start to adjust.

Only complaint: Lots of "orange peeling" on the sides - but not on the hood, roof, trunk (picked it up late in the day). I want this special color to look its best but the orange peeling definitely has an impact on that. I will be researching this and the best way to address. Hope thisis not a big issue from the fix side...

Overall - I am a very happy and lucky man to be driving my 5th Mustang GT since 2004 and to be back here.

 

 

I've seen threads of people fixing the orange peel on their cars..
but it requires all the basic tools associated with painting a car.. buffers, spray guns, etc.
I'd take it to a very very highly reccomended shop near you.

from what I know, it can be fixed by sanding down past the clear coat, then very lightly sanding the paint until it's gone..then clear coat reapplied.

like I said, see a professional :P

 

Congrats! And so sorry to hear about your streak ending with an automatic. But I'm sure you'll enjoy it just the same.

 

Congrats on the ride my man! Any pics??

 

 

You don't reapply clear coat because your not supposed to go through it all in the first place. There's tools that tell you how much is there so you can sand accordingly.

 

oh well :3
the thread I read through had someone actually sand down to the paint on the entire car, make the paint completely flawless, then reapplied clear.

 

Your supposed to buff it out, not repaint it... I wonder what that costed.

 

Orange peel is in the clear coat. You can wet sand it yourself if you are brave, but I'd just live with it.
