Well hello everyone,as you all provably noticed I haven't been here now for a while, well I didn't stop the progress on my GR-S1, I did get stuck and deep into several problems specially right after the final coat, it would never dry, always kinda sticky, very rough finish and could never get the shine I was after.. Painful.. it sure was, had to sand it down several times thinking the next time would work.. wrong (sorry folks but the truth can hurt), any how... after so many attempts, I finally realized that if it drys, I would not get the shine I'm after, and when it didn't , yep you guessed it, sand down as much as possible and back to square one, either way..
Only this time and with much research to be on the safe side, I only used the Dingo tone Stain, made sure it was dry, (after 4 weeks) sand down with 800 wet and dry and sprayed with acrylic clear.. and all heavens opened a new chapter to my project.. I now going to post some of the pics to share with you all,I've applied 8 coats of clear, 2 spray, 3 day sand down with 1200 wet and dry, repeated the steps and today I only used medium to heavy ( on the tin says the number 2 and I guess it would be the grade of the cutting compound)cut and polish and to me is mission accomplish!!
When I hold it right next to me is like looking into a mirror, here might not be able to see as much but I must admit, I finally got to where I wanted, so next is the next..
