(QUOTE) "One fender got some dirt and a couple of runs in it, so as a last ditch effort before totally repainting it I wet sanded it, and buffed it out."

I learned this from the old lacquer days! After seeing what a difference sanding and buffing made in the finish, I decided to do them all this way. Today I've got hundreds of jobs in my portfolio, and I've NEVER had a professional booth!......but I am a professional. It's really not the equipment....it's you!
