Members poomwah Posted January 21, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 21, 2010 Could you go over the process? Sure, its time consuming, but simple.Just make sure its smooth and it will shineWetsand it until its smooth with say 400 gritSpray it with sandable primer, sand it with 600Spray 2 coats of color, sand with 800 until there is no gloss leftSpray another two, 800 againTwo coats of clear, 800More clear, more 800 until you have as much clear as you wantThen wetsand up to 1000 or 1200Then buff with rubbing compoundThen polishing compoundThen waxThis isn't the only way to do it, may not even be the right way, but its the way that works for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
