very brave!
if i were to do that to my car the entire car would have to be done its so full of chips and scratches (i was very friendly with bushes on country lanes when learning!)
I had seen these pictures a while back and figured i'd give it a lash
I have bought a paint touch-up kit containing a paint-match, laquer, and polishing compound.
I was planning to over-fill the chips and a few scratches with the paint, then sand even with 3000 grit wet sand-paper(is this just wet with water?), then polish, clean, apply lacquer, sand, and polish.
I haven't got an electric polisher, but was planning to use good irish elbow grease, but have now found out that a polisher might be required...
1) Can this all be done by hand?
2) What can be used to remove sanding marks(3000grit-wet)?
3) I have already applied the paint, so no going back now!!!
4) Yes, i'm a fool but i'm gonna try diggin upwards for a while!
5) Is it good, or a waste of time to try polishing out sanding marks before applying the lacquer? or would the lacquer hide the marks?
6) I havent sanded anything yet, i have yet to make that mistake!
Did you just use one touchup pen and then wetsand??
What kind of polisher did you use, was it a rotary or a dual action one?? and what kind of pad did you use??
What kind of wetsand paper did you use??
I have a black metallic paint on mine and was thinking of doing what you have done.
He used P2000 grit wet and dry paper
A Porter Cable poilisher (Dual Action)
Light cut 4" pad with a medium Mezerna polish
Then a finishing pad with finishing Mezerna polish after
