Your doing the wet sanding the hard way. Use the D/A with a foam backing pad.

we D/A them with 1000 dry, Then hit it with 3000 wet. It will shine before you even buff it. It does come out flatter with a block though

keeps my arms in good shape...ya wanna arm wrestle? I'm not a production shop,i have tryed the da and foam pad deal before and one lil' piece of dirt will leave a lil' tractor mark and ruin the whole paintjob,by hand you can hear if a piece of dirt gets on the surface.theres a lot of sand in water so I use a spray bottle with soap and warm water to avoid it

I can't tell from the pix...

Looks like a '65, but not sure..


It's gorgeous, whatever it is (early Valiants are my favorite A-Bodies....)

Wet sanding with a pair of paint paddles was the way I always dun it waggin.
I remember my finger tips trying to separate from my nails :angry7:
Yep spay pottle with warm water to keep the sand paper clean and surface wash back is the way to go :cheers: I use a new bondo spreader to keep an eye on my work as I go.8)

Nice job waggin =P~=P~

 

[daves66valiant]

That looks awesome Waggin. Very nice job on the clear. I'll be finishing my Hood and Deck lid this weekend hopefully. That thing looks sharp.:cheers::cheers::cheers:

Yep Mikey I use a paint paddle as well. Perfect thickness, flat and doesn't swell when left in water.

She looks real purdy!!!

 

[cudaspaz]

Man, these little Valiant's are really starting to grow on me the more I see them done up so nice such as yours.

I saw a really cool orange pro street one at a car show not too long ago, man was it sharp.
Yours looks like it's going to be a real stunner when it's all put together.
