True , they are pricey,but have used one pad so far to do the deck lid and hood and the pad is still good . Actually , it is an old pad left over from a previous job . I am sure a new pad would go even further .
As a matter of fact , suppose it takes three pads to do an entire car ( nine bucks) vs a can of cheap black spray paint
( two to three bucks ) . 6 bucks more
and I can get a really good glimpse of what the car will look like . I will send some pics this week . Like I said before
I have never used a guide coat in thirty
years and always had good results with
feeling the panel ( which I still do) but I really like this way.
