Up to 1500 grit now. The whole car has been sanded with it once, there are afew areas to go over again and the bonnet/decklid needs another coat of paint. Next step is afew days of polishing, but will probably leave the paint to cure fully before waxing. The problem is is that some areas are perfect, so it only highlights the areas with abit more orange peel...but for the basic materials and using a 4 inch roller its totally acceptable in my book...
The panels still need to be fitted properly so there a some irregular gaps...
The areas around the decklid hinges have been polished and waxed for fitting...
and I did a small test part of hand polishing on the wing. Nice reflection and even got rid of a small fly that decided to settle on the paint overnight.....I'm thinking this might just work.
I'm moving to Germany next week so this may be it for awhile, but the place we've found to live has a double garage and a sizeable basement so should be able to crack on over the winter months...
Made in Germany 1968...resurrected in USA 2007...realised in UK 2009...completed in Germany 2010ish and the circle is complete.....
Thanks
