Most Welcome. Also, if anyone is interested, I used a DeVilbiss DV1 paint gun. I highly recommend it if you are painting more than one time. It's a bit pricey around the $650 range, but it delivers a great finish and comes with multiple tips. My compressor is a bit old, and this gun can spray at tip pressures in the 15 psi range (at the cap). So, I had less overspray, and the compressor had no issues keeping up with the low demand. Comes in a Basecoat and clearcoat model, but really the Basecoat gun works equally as well for clear too. No need for two guns, even pro reviews said that. Thanks again!

Supply and tool info will be shared with George Kakarian at S-Rank Automotive in North Hollywood, CA. He painted my ride. 3 primes to meet his standards. Pics below are a couple steps of process. Dale at ASIRA AUTO in AZ crafted the Carbon Fiber hood using my design of custom hood to house performance adds

A detail question if having personal experience has confirmed: If car has been fully painted under 3 months ago and finish is very good but just needs that “Thing” to make better! Any suggestions?
Thank you for listening 😎

Fantastic Look, love the body and that hood is awesome. Paint looks great in the photo. The only thing I can think of, assuming it has not been accomplished already is to wet sand and buff out the clear coat. What they call color sanding, although that's an old term as with a two stage finish you are leveling the clear, then power buffing it. That removes any imperfections and leads to a show car finish and adds more depth to the paint. It can be a lot of work, and with all of the drastic body lines on a vette, you have to be careful at every line. The paint is thinner at those points. It's a natural thing and pros know not to sand or buff excessively on a body line. You should not have any issues doing the sanding/buffing on the clear at this point. But, always best to check with the painter and paint manufacturer for any guidelines. The clear I used can be buffed out long after it has been applied to the car.
Don't know if anyone else has other suggestions for enhancing your finished product? Enjoy that Beautiful Vette!
