Been wet sanding the hood the last couple of days. First I did a pass using 2000 grit paper, both via the Porter-Cable orbital sander, and also hand sanding those spots where the pad on the machine wouldn't mate flush with the surface.
Then I hand sanded the hood completely with 3000 grit sand paper.
And lastly (with the sanding steps) did a machine sanding with 4000 grit paper.
I started on the roof but only got done with the 2000 grit sanding up to now. Probably finish up that sanding tomorrow and maybe start on the deck lid.
Then it is time to start with the liquid polishers.
Connie just shakes her head when she comes over to the garage and sees the mess I've made of the paint job. She's probably half convinced that I've ruined the paint job completely. Heck, maybe I did. I've got my fingers crossed that the liquid polishing compounds will put the gloss back into the paint surface.
This sure would be a whole lot of work for nothing..
