More Painting

Finally almost done with painting.  Well actually I have been done with painting for a while but have been working on the finish.  After a few coats of base and about 4 coats of clear coat, I wet sanded the panel and then went through the rubbing compound -> machine polish -> hand glaze -> wax process.  This was a very time consuming process.  I also had to wait a while for the clear coat to finish curing.  This can take up to a month.  The other issue I had was to work on one side of the panel I would have to stand the panel on the opposite finished side which would tend to mar the finish and smear debris on that side.  To combat that issue I ended up building a sort of 'jig' to hold the panel while I worked on it.  This would let me work on one side while the opposite side hung suspended in the air and would not have to lay against the table.  Here are a few pictures of the 'jig' and how I worked on it.

I should be able to start assembling the panel within a week.  Then the real fun begins.  I'm tired of working on painting, it has taken way too long.  Pretty happy with how it looks though.
