i got it all buffed up last night. two weekends worth of wet sanding and buffing. for everyone out there who s gonna flat sand their own paint....i ve been paintin a long while and i ve flat sanded and buffed many, but..i learned a new lesson this time. some use rubber blocks, or dura blocks to flat sand, myself included. they knock most of the peel out, but if you ve never tried it.....try using a paint stick for a block. its night and day different in the flatness. and its actually easier to sand(in my opinion). i started out with the rubber blocks and wasn t happy, because i ve seen smoother, so i knew it was attainable. i ended up rapping a 6 in. wood paint stick with a piece of 1000 grit. and went to town with a spray bottle and soapy water. once i got it flat and smooth, i went back over it with a paint stick and 2000 grit. next, i used synthetic cutting compound and a wool pad at low(1000) rpm. after it was all pretty well shined up and scratch free, i went to a yellow foam compound pad and used the same cutting compound, last, i washed it down, and went after it with a grey waffle foam pad and grey 3m glaze. it still needs polished with a softer pad, but it looks awesome. super flat and smooth. i figured i d share this with those who haven t tried it because it worked really well. night and day difference in flat, smooth paint between a rubber block vs. a plain ole paint stick.
