gen7nnb Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) Thanks. It looks ok, couple of little blemishes but hopefully the wet sanding will get the majority out. Edited January 7, 2013 by gen7nnb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gen7nnb Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 After spraying, you initially end up with an imperfect, sort of speckled surface. You need to use a very fine wet and dry paper along with some soapy water to smooth the surface down. However, you will then be left with a dull finish so you then need to use a cutting polish to bring back the shine the the surface. I haven't yet got it perfect but some of the parts I have done have come out fairly nice! As with what areas you need to wet sand, it is all of it but if there are major imperfections you may need to take right back and re-do. I used just 1200 grit wet and dry for this but really I should've gone with a finer grade after that but don' have any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
