    Your comment about cure time for 2k clear is gold. I just cleared a hood with Spray Max 2k Gloss and tried to wet sand and buff after 24 hours and couldn't figure out where all the damn scratches came from. I'm leaving it alone for a week and trying again but first, I need more beer.

    You are the best teacher for auto painting on youtube. To the point with the right amount of humor. I used your expertise to eliminate failed clear coating, then painted and recoated my black truck fender flares using rattle can K-2 products. They turned out well. After about 9 days, I will refresh myself with your eliminating orange peel video and get it sanded and buffed pretty. Thanks. I would have never tried this, but somehow you made it simple enough to attemp.

    What I like about these videos (apart from the fact that this guy is an expert) is that he is actually teaching you how to do things right. He knows there's people who would like to learn about this stuff and he takes the time to explain everything to the smallest detail. He doesn't like "cheap and fast" solutions so he uses the proper material and tools, as much as you need, he tells you how to use them and he tells you why he is using them. Awesome channel.

    Thanx for sharing this...it really helped me recover what i thought was a ruined section when I tested wet sanding with 2000 grit on orange peel clear coat. I didn't clean it well enough and I didn't go back over enough with compound. After doing what you recommended, my little test section is restored to match the rest of the hood and when I have time, I will do the whole hood following this. Good vid, good direction. Thanx!

Just one note, if I could do it over, make sure you prime the surface really well with, I would say, several coats of primer. I could have used maybe one or two more coats. Then sand it the very best you can before painting painting and applying clear coat. Great video for DIY peops!

    Instead of buying some commercial swirl remover, go to a discount store or super market and buy a box of corn starch and jug of distilled water and mix up a paste that's about the same consistency as the polishing compound that you used and polish out those swirls with it. Custom painters from the 1950s and 60s used that to polish out swirls in their custom lacquer paint jobs to get that "hand rubbed" look. Works like a charm.
