[X(] WOW NICE JOB [8D]

thanks for some great info
here is a pic of my buddy Francis's Super Bandit wing that I painted and cleared I am going to love that 3000 Paper
But a question if you shoot your clear on and not get the orange peel why sand and polish it OH and them specs of dust well sometime you have to live with them when your clear comes out smooth

When you spray the clear, it is possible to have it flow out absolutely like glass. However, today's clears are designed to pinch back into an orange peel when they dry to match a factory paint job (gotta remember, paint is designed for collision shops, not custom guys haha)
The bandit wing you did looks awesome, but I can see the orange peel in there, the wet sanding with a block will get rid of all of that and get rid of the dust. If you do happen to get clear that lays out perfectly, and doesn't shrink back, you can always just spot sand the dust out and polish those area's.
