M4TT Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 id have thought it best to have them spray the kit while they doing the repairs so they can blend the paint in and make it colour better??? thats the normal way anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeeWee Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 No laquer at all on my paint I rub down the final paint with 1200 wet n dry then use rubbing compound to bring the final smooth colour match before waxing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
