Painting

[Koenig, Tom]

Verne,
I'm assuming you're already done and now have a ridge.
if you are using a clear -over base system ..be careful as they do not wet
sand well. The colours will 'bleed' into each other if you do. Just scuff
the edges dry with 1500 or finer , blow off the dust and then wipe using a
lightly damp chamois. Metallic's should not be sanded at all if you can
avoid it, if you have to, do it in one direction only, no circular sanding
at all. The scratches will show even under a clear coat.

If it is a two pack colour already, go for your life and wet sand lightly.
You will then probably need to do a final wet sand once all your colours are
down. Then give it a clear coat. 

For a real killer finish..then wet sand your clear coat and machine buff.

Tom
