just got outta the paint booth! I just got my car outta the paint booth today and i slapped on some 69 z28 emblems... my car was a flat black and like a flat green so it looks way better now!!
what ya guys think? still needs to be buffed and hood aligned but i want to let the paint completley cure before i mess with it

wow, thats extremely excessive. clear is ready for wetsanding and buffing after 24 hours. i believe you are thinking about wax, which probably should wait for a while to apply it. have fun buffing it out, you will be there a while.

No offense, but I hope there is plenty of clear on that car, because you are gonna have to buff the **** out of it for it too look good. I can see in the pics how coarse the texture is, and the paint is not reflecting much light- almost looks like a single stage paint to me?
Don't wait 3 weeks to buff it, get er done within 24-48 hours, otherwise you'll need tommy john surgery from blowing out an elbow after too much sanding.

Verdad Gallardo i think its not reflecting much light because of the crappy camera. bugt i see the coarseness of it. take some higher quality pics. also do not wait 3 weeks to buff the car or its going to be a bitch and a half. i normally wait a whole 24 hours on black cars so theres no dye back. i see all the orange peel by the emblems i recommend taking them off and wetsanding everything flat for a really nice finish. the other reason for taking them off would be so you dont have a lot of peel around the emblems and none on the rest of the body.

Looks good but after a good buffing it will look awesome. Post some pics after the buff job.
