Tinting Tails

[Harasin]

Hey guys, i'm currently in the proccess of tinting my tails with the tint spray. I got my desired darkness and then put a few coats of clear. Im having troubles with getting it shiney, it has a rough surface. I think im supposed to sand it once im done to get rid of the bumps and then use a rubbing compound? Is this correct? Which rubbing compound do I use? Thanks in advance guys.

Real Quick

WET sand w 1000 grit sand paper.

Buff w PPG(what we use)#1 compound, then #2 polish, then #3 ultrafine finish. Then wax.

Shold take you about an hour MAX

But your clear shoulda left you pretty good. Unless it was out of a can. Sand just the clear and not down through the black tint.

Hope that helps.

Awesome, I think I have a good idea on how to get that shine now appreciate it.

I use 2000 grit and wet sand them, then apply a second coat, wet sand, then a third coat, wet sand, then polish. Just make sure you wait about a week before the polish process, make sure the coatings have cured.

I'm getting ready to do another set with the Viper logos on them, I'll post a write up in the DIY with photos when I'm done. Did that once but it accidently got deleted and was asked to repost it.

I really need to get off my ass and do this. Black trucks look sexy with black tails.
