The can is a little different, but I’m using this.

3-4 coats of high build primer , block sand with 600, repeat till smooth, then a couple coats of this.

Got to see her. She’s very nice. She has a couple small Imperfections but nothing crazy. I’m set to pick her up in the morning ( gonna rain today.) then starts the process of getting her together.

I’m so ready to put some miles on this bad girl

Might be tomorrow or Monday before she’s home. After really going over the car I found a scratch that needed buffed and they had put the door moldings on wrong. They were glad to fixed it and said several times they’ll keep it till I’m happy.
