When I painted my last vette I swore I would never do it again.... its a lot of work and shortcuts that I took ended up costing me later..... But here I am wiser now from the experiences and about to do it again along with redoing the interior and building an engine to boot! But when the cars painted you will have a sense of accomplishment second to none.

it's the polish you use to get shiney stainless bits
as for whether or not you use it to shine your wife up, that's really your business and TMI for the rest of us

I was told the new paints already have the flexing agent all ready added because all cars have flexy bumpers now.
The trim can be blacked out like the 81-82 vette's if you looking for another look?

Not sure what guide coat should look like but that was the worst spraying paint I ever used! I sure comes off easy and looks smooth after hit with 400 grit though! I feel a paint job coming in this weekend gang!!!!!

Be sure to get all that spray paint off the car...its not compatible with the paint system your using and can cause fish eyes or the paint to lift (I learned the hard way)..... Its wiser to use a dark alternate color of 2k primer like the sem brand stuff that comes in a spray can that way if you miss some your OK.

I used actual guide coat not paint why would they make guide coat not compatible with your paint?
