Thanks! I finally got around to taking some decent pics to prove it could be done with out spending $ at a shop. ALSO I just got my hands on some 3000 grit paper! (it is currently sanded up to 2000) $10 a sheet >P. So they'll be getting re sanded/polished soon. I'll post it up when its done.

when I did mine, I did wetsand/clear coat/nightshade/clearcoat.


on the second one, it looks like the clear coat is really grainy just after the backup light... htats just cuz I was playing with depth of field on the camera lens.
