In this video our 1969 Firebird comes out of the outdoor inflatable paint booth and has orange peel. I show you how to cut down the clear coat step by step from 1000 grit to 5000 and make the car smooth and slick. The I walk you through the steps to buff the shine back in the car using the 3M Perfect it buffing and polishing kit. We do a walk around of the Pontiac at the end showing the final outcome and I throw up some side by side before and after shots to complete the video. Hopefully this video helps you take your restoration, hot rod, classic car or muscle cars paint to the next level and really impress your audience weather your going down the road or at a local car show.

You by far are one of the most detailed in explaining things. You are a master at your craft. Sylvester Customs does a good job as well.

@@carthageclassiccars You bet. Watch your videos every night after getting kids to bed. I’m restoring a square body right now and your videos give me motivation to keep going forward. Anyway you could do a video on adjusting doors with weatherstrip installed so there is no hinge binding ect for a smooth shut. I’m getting to the alignment part before final tear down to paint and want all that dialed in before fresh paint.

@@NDB390 awesome to hear that the videos helped and good luck on your build. If i get a chance to put the door with the weather-strip ill try and do that. Honestly I usually will adjust the door without weather-stripping and then put it on the car if I can and if nothing else slighly adjust the striker

Thanks, I think they were an off brand on amazon if I remember correct.

Do you have any extra advice or tips for cut and buff of a new black paint job? Would you recommend avoiding the rotary wool buff (to avoid swirls) and use only DA (buffer or sander) for each step in the process?

I am going to try and do a better video on the cutting and buffing in the next few months. Are you using a high solids clear, usually you can be more aggressive on that and work it down. New paint as that will make a difference. I would say try just the DA buffer first and use the least aggressive and see if it gets you paint where you want it first. No need to be overly aggressive if you don't have too or remove too much material. Also your first time you try something new do it in a spot at the bottom that would be easier to work back out.
