you cant wax new paint yet!!! the paint needs time to cure,,,, let it go thru the winter but come spring then wax it..

 

Thanks for telling me that I probably would have messed everything up. Well what about buffing out the truck minus the parts I did paint, to get the gloss up a little more to the new paint level.

 

normally buffin the paint is done after its painted/cleared and has dried but ya still have to be careful not to burn the paint with the machine... my friend will only buff out a new paint job if theres any sign of dust that got in it...other than that he leaves it and tells the cust to come back in a few weeks for the buffing..

 

When I got my back end replaced after getting rear ended, the dealership told me to wait a month before waxing, and that was in the middle of the summer (although that could go either way...much hotter...but more humid)

 

Man I'm so mad right now!!!!! I just got this fresh paint job and I was showing my dad today and there is a long scratch on the passenger side quarter! I just started driving it again on monday! It looks like I'm going to be parking in BFE whenever I go anywhere!!!!! This ruined my whole day now.

 

Oh thats rough...I'd be pissed.

 

Got any better pics of the finished product? And sorry to hear about the scratch. Some people have to respect for other peoples rides.

 

1 question: why didnt you paint the grille?
I would be really pissed bout the scratch.

 

hey blazin97,
what kind of lift do you have on your 97?
ant like tire sizes and stuff like that?
hah sorry guys this isnt about paint, but im new and cant figure out how to message him

 

I don't really like the grille the same color of the rest of the truck, I don't know why maybe just too much red or something. If I would put money on when the scratched happened it would have to be in the school parking lot, people have no respect for other people things, mom and dad just buy them whatever they want around here.
