tjts1 - it's allmost not possible to get the shine a power polisher will do in 5 mins by hand. With that said, get a polisher, you'd be amazed at how fast they bring that shine back. Otherwise your skills look great as far as painting goes, that's the hardest part to get down pat, the polishing I find is the easy part.




Thanks! I'm kind of surprised that I was able to get away with just 3 coats thinned out with 2 parts paint, 1 part mineral spirits. The sunroof was a test panel that I'll eventually put on the car but I think by the third coat I finally got the hang of not over brushing the paint to get rid of the bubbles. I get better results brushing over the paint extremely lightly and slowly as opposed to hard and fast. I'm just using the weight of the brush itself to pop the bubbles.
