'68 Coronet R/T's ProfileHave a few runs in the clear mainly on one side of the car but I believe that was due to the poor lighting in the booth. I had to paint from my knees to be able to see anything on that side.
Thanks for your help in getting me to this point.

First time painting with BC/CC and only the second car I have ever painted so its not perfect but I am pleased. Still needs to be color sanded and buffed.

Lookin' good.
 Have you done much cut and buff work before? These cars with the big swoopy lines and fine creases here and there can be tricky. I'd be taping some of those edges and just remember "If it's an area you think you'll have trouble buffing don't sand it in the first place, just blend into it."

No, this will be my first time color sanding and buffing. I plan to let the car sit for a couple of days while I get the things I need together and do some intensive reading on the subject. I have a variable speed buffer but will need to get the proper pads and products before starting. 1968 Coronet R/T - a work in progress.

That looks good. Did you have the car at that height when you sprayed it?I bet leaning over that one to get to the center was fun?

Yes, but I used a step stool. The difficult part was keeping my belly sucked in while still trying to breathe.

Han,
There are 3 coats of clear on there. I wanted to go 4 but my time in the booth was already up. Here is a picture of my worst spot as far as runs go: 
JC, It just had to be the lighting - honest.
