i put about 20 hrs into cutting and buffing... it will get rid of 99% of any dirt or dust. ive seen cars painted from a shop with more dirt in the paint.





before cutting and buffing..

Nice! Did you take pictures of your booth? What guns and paints did you use? Thanks for sharing.

i really would say i didnt make much of a booth.. just put plastic over everything i didnt want paint on. I cleaned the crap out my garage and sprayed away... this is the 3rd car ive done in my garage with good results. Lighting is very important.




cougar wasnt cut and buffed all the way in that pic just the hood was done

Holy crap that is awesome! You've just inspired me to think about doing this myself. Cars look beautiful as well.

If you don't mind sharing, what paint code & color name is that? Is it used on a current model car/truck??
