Very nice work Windy. The tips will come in handy for anyone including me. Enjoyed the video and RIDE SAFE OUT THERE!

IT IS AN ICONIC PART OF MY LIFE FOR SURE,STUFF IS HANGING ON IT AS I DO MY E MAIL.

YOU ARE RIGHT EXCEPT MY NON EXISTENT PAINT BOOTH SWIRLS IN EVERY DIRECTION MOST TIME.

STARTING A CARBON FIBER PROJECT SOON AND ALL THE PAINTWORK FOR A CUSTOM PART,hope you enjoy it,share the link.

GENERAL RULE IS METALICS DO NOT EVER GET SANDED,PEARLS TOO. OTHERS WITH PIGMENTS IT DOES NOT MATTER AS MUCH. BUT THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS OF COURSE. BEST TO TRY A LITTLE TEST,WHEN YOU SAND PEARLS AND METALICS YOU WILL ALMOST ALWAYS SEE SANDING SCRATCHES AFTER THE CLEAR GOES ON. ALSO IT WOULD DEPEND ON HOW SMOOTH A SURFACE IS. IF YOUR PAINTING BLACK AND IT IS ORANGE PEELED SANDING IS FINE YOU WILL NOT SEE SCRATCHES. IF YOU HAVE SILVER AND IT IS ORANGE PEELED SAND IT THEN PUT ANOTHER COAT OF SILVER BEFORE THE CLEAR TO MASK THE SCRATCHES. GOOD TOPIC FOR NEXT ASK WINDY VIDEO AND ILL TRY TO MAKE MORE EXAMPLES OF THE SANDING SCRATCHES.

Is there a reason you spray paint "upwind"? It would seem that it is better (for a number of reasons) to have part positioned downwind of the paint spray - and downwind of the (unmasked) painter himself.

In the past you show that you sand the paint before applying clear. And in some cases, like this, you don't. What decides whether you sand it or not before clear??
