Sanded with 400grit (lightly) and applied 3rd coat. So far so good? I hope.

I didnt get a picture after sanding but, it seemed i took off 1 coat by sanding and looked like the factory red but with a black tint, a very light tint to it. Call me crazy but to see if there was a coat, i sprinkled a couple grains of salt on the hood to see if it was sitting on a coat or the original paint. sure enough it seemed like it was hovering over the hood. so after sanding, i prepped the hood and rolled on another coat.

EDIT - holy crap, i just compared the shine compared to my previous post. the reflection of the tree is a lot sharper on the 3rd coat!

QUESTIONThe "scratch/nail test". Is this being done with your finger nail? or an actual nail? I remember reading about it a while ago..


3rd coat
