Actually I have a question...

How long do I wait before polishing the new paint?
I figured a good month before the final seal, but from paint to glossy finish?

Ask your painter for the best answer as he knows what he used and how he did it

You can polish now, I waited about 60 days to seal the paint on my new truck, because I ordered it and knew that it had not been sitting on the dealers lot for a length of time.

New cars come from the factory with the paint already cured. (Baked). There is no waiting period for new cars.

Paint from the body shop however, is a different story.

Bingo !

Fun fact : The paint shop accounts for almost 75% of an assembly plant's energy consumption.

Can't wait to see this new part, this is a much better build than anything on Speed vision, Speed, ???, Motor Trend TV has. I cut the cable over a year ago and I can only imagine how bad the shows are now as they've been going down hill FOREVER!

Oh I don't know about that, at least not all the shows. Iron Resurrection has esp. had some strong builds ... blown big block stuffed in to a Vega wagon that had been chopped ... and probably one of the best restos of a 70's Firebird you'll ever see, incl. Joe hand-painting the screaming eagle on the hood.

Sorry Monica...I'm "pumping the brakes" now, not hi-jacking it

I like your show because it's real, no fake drama, your a real person with a real budget. Looking forward to what's next

Pretty damn talented. One of my favorite shows, too bad the episode count this last year was way down due to Covid. Bitchin Rides is good too. Texas Metal has some talent as well.
