    Its gloss. Might be my camera settings. Shooting on manual and I was getting a lot of light. This is before wet sanding and polish

    Looks good! At first I thought it was a roller paint job. The more time/effort you put in this stage, wetsand/buff etc, the more baller your car will look! I've never really been a fan of white wheels- but to each their own.

    I remember him posting that he's pretty young. I think this kid is fresh out of High School. Restored my hopes for the new generation of DIYers.

    Respect!

    This dude is in high school.

    I like all the 240 trolls.

    Looks good man. I did stage one as well. It's a lot of wet sanding, but it will turn out nice.

    wait, were you trying to get all the texture/orange peel look? shoulda kept it silver....it looked shiny
    but good job on the DIY, next time raise the car up so you can get under the bumpers! or remove bumpers.

    If it's a roller job you can get the orange peel out with some more work, I've done roller paint jobs on a few cars, can't beat the price but yeah it didn't look bad at all before. lol
