I have buffed early before, never that early. I am surprised you don’t see it sinking in drastically after that. Sometimes that’s the reason I buff early, but it’s done at a week, not a day. Everything else waits 4 weeks minimum so it’s harder and more brittle before checking<br>

fine work sir

Not really much of a secret formula with rattle cans. can’t exactly vary the mix. i presume it’s just applying all the things that will help.<br><br>So warm dry air rather than heat, good airflow. Making sure the body is at the right temperature<br><br>plus the way it’s finished with minimal sanding and <br>Tcut is not the same as flatting out through the grades and machine buffing.<br><br>still would of been nice to share the technique if it’s that good.<br><br>it looks the part so nice work<br><br><br>

Howdy, Stranger!
