Just got back from the bodyshop and was blown away! I'm very excited about how the color came out. 2 more coats to go.

How many coats of clear will have been applied when it's all said and done?

I don't understand the interruption between "coats of clear". I'm not a painter by trade, but I do paint my own cars. When I do it, the 3-4 coats of clear are all shot without interruption. Are they applying 2 coats, then wet-sanding smooth and then re-shooting a couple more coats? This is a LOT more work, but the end result is usually worth it... as stated, the clear develops a "deeper" look and imperfections are almost non-existant.

Looks real nice Stan.

This is a sluggo approved method.
This is what you get:

This car actually could use one more round of sanding and buffing. 4 coats of base, 2 coats of clear, sanded, striped and cleared, sanded, 2 more coats of clear, sanded and buffed once.
See the exhaust fan and louver in the 26 foot ceiling?
