The TA is headed to the Paint shop! Hey guys my trans am is headed to the body shop to get painted, I'm going back black I will post some pics up today of the process I have it all sanded down. Looking for some opinions if I should paint a few things red. Let me know.
i would go all black or black and blue or something, everyone that has a black car does the black and red thing change it up a little if you dont want to go all black.
thanks just my opinon tho

how are you trying to upload them- stright from your pictures folder to the site? or through some other site like photobucket? if they're too big then you need to resize them smaller.

The shine isn't the point of holding back on the waxing. It's to allow all of the solvents to completely dry from the paint. And wax is wax, you're still applying a thin layer that will seal in any solvents that haven't totally been released by the paint.

Ive always been told by several painters and including others who have painted outta their house, that a person should wait 3 to 6 months before applying your first coat of wax on a freshly painted car. This way it gives plenty of time for the paint to harden and release of any solvents. Its possible the wax could strip away the freshly laid clearcoat as well.

wax doesnt strip off the clear, what it does do to fresh clear is dull it down, puts a skin on it, which never wet sands off and has to be repainted, clear that is baked on at 140 an up and cooled back down can be waxed the nest day, if not baked then yes about 3 months for the clear to harden, and any remaining solvents to evaporate
i use 3m`s show car glaze, up until its time to wax
