went over bobbles with 40grit, then 80grit, 2 layers of UPOL high build primer, wet 600 grit, 2 layers of red primer, 2 layers of tornado red, and 2 layers of lacquer.

Need to wait a couple of days, then going to tcut (to remove orange peel) then wax!!!!

might be better with G3 compound to get rid of any orange peel ;)

good effort mind

2500 wet and dry, or use 2000 dry then 3000 wet softpad on a DAsander. then polish really really hard by hand wit g3 or g10 pollish or just use a buffer if you can get one :thumbsup:
