In the begining of your post you say:

So are you a sponsor or not? Doesn't seem fair to the people who pay for sponsorship

I suggest you read that. I'll leave this thread alive so you can show off your work. Please do NOT advertise unless you are planning on getting a sponsorship. If you have any further questions please feel free to PM me or any of the Admins.

Demonbird...

no, its house of kolor UC-35, one of the best clears you can buy. I most likely will wetsand/buff it to get nice and smooth. Most jobs that get cleared never leave until they are buffed/cleared, no matter what skill level you are.

They look good for not being wet sanded or buffed Can you post pics after you wet sand them?

Then what is it? I see tons of little spots and stuff... When Whister painted my 1994 Z the clear was damn near perfect, sorry that's all I have to go off of.
