I got 5 cars that I own that needs to be painted.I think I'll try this special technique on one of them.

Holy crap
That is amazing... I would have surely guessed the job would either fade or run, but wow.

The sanding wouldn't be nearly as bad on a small little motorcycle tank. I may look into this when I repaint my bike.

impressive indeed

I've seen this paint job done in an issue of Hotrod Magazine.  They endorsed the method, but they also said it was a lot of sanding.   

i got one of those cheap 350$ paint any car place paint jobs and did the wet sanding and buffing myself and it took me about 3 days on and off to get it to look like glass. With the proper polisher it really isnt that much work. But damn that does look good.
