Why wouldn't you buy a 100L tank if it's the same price as a good 50 L one? I'm going to have it for a life time so why wouldn't I buy a good one? And I've decide im using acrylic to paint the whole vl with a clear over the top.

Yeah i would rather be sanding with the car sound system going over standing there buffing :) So that video is just the solid paint then sanded with the grids you said I would say dosnt look bad it's looks shinny in the video. I would be happy with that finsh.

Yeah I think I'll got the 1000 grid might take long but most probably have a better finsh yeah?

Okay sweet :) only reason i thought 2000 was because with gel coat you will never get the scratchs out if you use a corser grid then 2000. But paint is alot different as I'm learning, so i can put a clear coat on if it dosent look the best with just a sand and buff? :) thanks you guys have been...

Oh yeah true well I got a buff and some good cut and polish from work :) and when sanding it back i use 2000grid? Got alot of different sand paper at work just need to know witch one to grad. Also when i'm buying the paint I ask for the solid 2 pack? Sanded the hole front of the car this...

Okay yeah well the side panels I did I put 3 layers of paint then Sprayed a few layers of clear over the top with out rubing it back but that didn't have an amazing finsh.
