I still have to do this to mine. Did you tape body lines and edges. What kind of pad did you use for cutting.

i'm sure this isn't the best stuff out there, but I've done 4 cars now with this stuff, http://www.systemfiftyone.com/?p=38 This stuff is very user friendly and I've only burnt thru 1 edge with it. (which was my fault cause I was putting too much pressure and not paying attention) How is the orange peel on your paint job?
on my 68 driver door which had pretty good orange peel after the clear dried for a few days.  this was after I cut and buffed

It's a little more than what you would see on an older factory paint job.

I would try that product if you wanna try cutting and buffing.. its really pretty easy, just time. Once you see the difference you will be addicted though..

Looks good to me ! Did you shoot clear over the black I heard even doing a satin or flat that a clear must be used to achieve the perfect look and will hide any imperfections when shooting the base black color down

Failed attempt #1 looked pretty good to me. I wish I had pictures but I've seen a DIY matte black using a Dupli-Color Matte Clear Coat. The guy was similar to you. Learned and researched on his own and has a few paint jobs under his belt. It looked more satin with a sheen than a flat matte look.

Ya I wanted the semi gloss, but it has a light tigger stripes Don't like it, so off it comes and gloss in on the way. It was a good idea, but don't know if I'm as much of a fan of half the car satin.

sand with 800 wet...
Since it is black already... Add 20% more reducer. Throw a medium tack coat....followed immediately by a medium wet coat. Wait 15 minutes at 72 degrees. If you are shooting above 85 degrees. Times speed up. And you will need to add some slower reducer. Last coat after waiting a few minutes...add like 50% more reducer. More reducer slows it down and lays it out better.

When its really hot out...I use a clear coat blender as a reducer on the last coat. That would be the 50% reduction coat. i.e. 4 parts black.. 1 part hardener.. 1 part reducer.. plus 50% reducer by volume.
Put a 36 inch sheet of paper on the wall....test your gun out b4 you spray the car! They also make test panels you can practice on.

That's the plan! Being a garage paint job satin has to lay perfect. Well can't fix any spots with cutting and buffing so fuck it. Live and learn. Gettin a controlled environment in the garage is hard.
