proper sanding

[SinCrisis]

I actually sent commando a pm a while back asking about one of his paintjobs since the case he painted was the exact one im working with now. However, i have yet to hear from him.

its hard to see the imperfections, but on the one of the whole body i have a series of scratches under the paint and on the front plastic part theres some wrinkly areas and such. However, the 400 grit wet sandpaper really helped, thanks for the suggestion! It was a lot better than before.

Body shops pretty much start with 400 grit for color sanding and end with 1200 or 1500 grit before buffing. So the finer grit you can get and use the better the end results. But be careful you don't sand too much with the rougher stuff, or you get to start over.

yea, i am going to sand the top again with 400 grit and repaint it. After that I'm out of paint and i dont really have a budget to go out and get more rite now. :-/ However its a lot better than when i first started so i need to thank yall a lot of your help.

That's what we're here for, helping each other out. It's why I like this site so much more than a lot of other modding sites.
