before


started with 1000 grit


found a run in the clear


moved to 1500, 2000, and finished with 2500


buffed with 3m rubbing compound and polish

You made quite an improvement. The initial sanding photos showed just how much orange peel you had and the uneven areas in the surface.

I agree...it is an improvement.

thanks.

Mr D.

I did this once before about 10 years ago on a 69, I used 3M Finishing Film or Trizact (??) started with 1000, than 2000, 3000 and ended up at 5000 on a rotary air sander. Than I started the buffing process.

Car went from a 30 footer to a 5 footer. It was a really jacked up paint job.
