I just made a detailed DIY thread on another car forum about automotive painting. If anyone wants me to I can post it here, the only problem is the car posted is not a B-Body mopar, but the process is the same. Let me know If anyone would find it helpful. I use to own a small body shop, and have been doing body and paint for over 10 years.

Ok I will post it, the only reason I asked was I made for a different kind of car forum and I didnt want to upset people here by having them see a non-mopar.

I think we can tolerate the other side for a little while. I'll just wear sunglasses or something to minimize the impact. 8)

for sure...i wouldn't mind an in-detail process for buffing and polishing...i think i got it down pretty good with the wet-sanding, then buffing, then polishing, but i'm wondering if i'm simplifying it too much...hope not, cuz that's what i've been doing :?

Yeah that would be great to have a modern day POV on the subject. I would be interested in the prepwork and sealing of the metal and body work. But a complete 0-100 overview would be great
