Pablo's TL-1Q

[FrankenWashie]

When sanding back on a car I'd normally tape any edges and transitions and concentrate on the flat or larger areas. The edges buff up on their own once you start with the cutting compound. Might be worth trying next time.

Good tip that Sonic, will have to lock that one in the database.

Thanks for the advice guys. Pulled my head out and sanded back down to 600 then re stained the problem areas. A couple of them are almost invisible while the two major ones (on the front and on the edge of the belly cut) are much less noticeable. I can live with it. Then a mist coat and three more wet coats of clear.



And back in the cupboard for another three to four weeks to cure. I must say, I am so much happier with the finish straight out of the can this time around. Mostly from having a flatter surface to begin with, but conditions were more appropriate (wind and temperature wise) and will mean it will be a lot less work to sand out in the end.

Nailed it!!

Wet sanding went far better this time around, and polishing has begun.



Doing it all by hand, so it might take another day or two of contemplating buying a power buffer and ice packing my right arm. Fun times.

$40 ozito does the trick.

Just get decent buffing pads.
