all that sanding was by d/a?!? very impressive! what make/model sander? I’m assuming you did the edges and whatnot with a handblock, or you have more balls than I do! :rock[/quote]
Thanks guys !!
all the block sanding was done by hand from 320 -2000 then 3000 trizact on da ….. yeh i know you can buy 1500g discs but i am a cave man 😆 😆

thats as far as i got today so more polishing and detailing tommorow :yep:
tommy
with only one coat of clear your going to struggle !
best thing to do would prob be knock it down with 800 and re shoot base then at least 2 coats of clear allowing flash times
what i do if theres a fly is get a pair of tweezers and take the fly out it will leave a crator in the paint that will fill on the next coat …… if its clean and you have that small crator were the fly was …block sand level with 1500g 2000g then polish
tommy
