If I permanently eff up, I guess I am going to buy those valenti tails a hell of a lot earlier than I originally planned LOL. Great write up, definitely impressed with all of your write ups; ESPECIALLY that wheel directory which is amazing, especially when trying to figure out offset.
I actually re-did mine THREE times, lol, and can tell you with 100% certainty that wetsanding the red basecoat before applying a clear or the VHT tint makes a big difference in clarity.

Also, if you plan on doing the clearcoat, wait about 7 days or more before wetsanding.
