my attempt at the "infamous roller paint" job

[fast02max]

My car was painted at Maaco by the previous owner...he had them spray base coat/clear coat instead of their usual single stage bs and it looked kind of dull, but I wetsanded and buffed the whole car and now you would never guess it was done at Maaco...

Yeah Most Maacos out here are shitty. Theres only One I trust out here.

 

[coupe5ohh]

for those of u asking here is the paint i am using

here is coat 5

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

I hope you wetsanded between 3-4 with 800 grit. Its looking pretty good, I would suggest about 8 coats, but you can always do more later if you decide to stop thats the dope thing about this paint.
