Nissan Titan King Cab Custom Truck
What's a couple of car guys do on their day off? Buff out a car!
This Nissan Titan will be on display at the upcoming DUB show in Los Angeles on February 19th.
My friend and forum member Richard Linn aka OctaneGuy gave me a hand and it took us together about 12 hours from start to finish in less than perfect working conditions. (The poles for the floor lift made it difficult to work on some portions of the truck.
Just to note, the paint job was really thrashed with zillions of swirls and hundreds of thousands of tracers that we didn't all get out. It could be that this truck will be re-cleared in the future and then sanded and buffed out again using the Meguiar's system.

(The poles for the floor lift made it difficult to work on some portions of the truck plus we kept tripping over it. The owner of this shop is building a dedicated shop just for wet-sanding and buffing as he understands that it is the wet-sanding, cutting and buffing that make or break a great paint job.
The worst part of the buff-out was sanding marks to close to edges and body lines as it's very hard to buff these out as you risk heating the paint up and potentially burning through. I found 2-3 burn throughs before we even started.
