after you paint a car your meant to go over it with 1500 grit wet dry paper and then buff it out with a buffing machine

using g3 paste you get rid of all the "orange peel" that there is.

i went over the entire car with 1500 grit paper and machine buffed it out

this is the roof one side has been buffed out the other side has just been 1500 down.. you can see the difference




just some more random pics of machine buffing it out

looks kool mate done a nice job.....going by them pics i agree with you on the sanding takin the piss i have recently done my shell and have only done small bit off painting before but i enjojed it bar the sanding lol

i think that nasty cash as you call in may be its had a rear 1/4 put in it in its day may be wrong though

pop the boot rubber off and have a good look at the lip to see if you can see the join or diffrence in spot welds

if ur willing to spend extra money..get one of them orbital sanders that way u can get it done quickly..they sand down anything without needing to wet it 1st..this is a 1 off and i was ona real tight budget so manual sanding for meee!
