    when did you turbo it? i dont think you can wet sand and buff a one stage paint job. i could be wrong but i have only sprayed a boat with a one stage set up. who painted it?

    if you want clear sprayed on then you will have to have it base coated then cleared. lmk and i can hook you up.

    That's an air to air intercooler. So yes, certain kinds of paint will restrict the flow through the fins.

    Looks good with the rims, my friend. How much boost are you pushing?

    not true... you CAN clear single stage... it looks like a solid white/black color (as in no pearl or metallic).. so you can also wetsand and buff fairly easily.... BUT.. just cuz you can doesn't mean its right... basecoat/clearcoat FTW

    i have never seen a wet sanded and buffed 1 stage that looked worth a sh!t. i would hate to see him spend the money and then mess it up. and i have never heard of anyone clearing a 1 stage but i guess anything is possible. i know a guy that swears to me that a rattle can job looks just like a base/clear job so go figure.

    im only going to be pushing 7-8psi. the intercooler was put on so i could cut the bumper around it. the ic is freakin huge! it should be off by time for the V meet on thw 6th.

    100% agree with you there

    well my comment was more to the fact that you said you can't clear a single stage.. you CAN clear single stage... but its pointless... if you're gonna clear it just do base/clear from the start like you said

    i've seen some pretty crazy **** done with a rattle can... but i'm sorry.. a normal rattle can will never match a good base/clear job... although.. i have seen some people attempt base/clear that would have gotten better reults from a rattle can.. haha..

    Nice! That should still be good for about 200whp am I right? Talk about a sleeper.

    I'll probably be at the varsity on thursday, too. See you there.
