Thread: in the middle of painting, ISSUES, desperate for help

I wouldn't get to concerned at all as long as you have enough paint on, it's cut and buff time. One of the best painters I know (street rod magazine cars) says he's not a good painter, he just can color sand and buff really well. If this is your 1st paint job you will figure out real quickly that's where the finish and shine comes from, not that some can't get away without doing it, but I have too! Borrow somebodies buffer (variable speed for not doing it before) and head to harbor freight grab meguiars 105 & 205 compounds use your coupons, as they are pretty cheap there, go to oriellys and get a Master pro wool pad and a black foam pad, some 1000 grit wet paper and 1200 and you can do a pretty decent job with that alone, I use more pads and compounds but with just that you can get as good as a factory finish at least. If no money, just wait till you can as most likely it will need done or resand and reshoot but that's more paint and more $$
