very little i am so so sick of sanding! put 3 coats of paint the first go around and rubbed through in a few spots. so sand it all down with 600 then 3 more coats with the last coat 50/50 paint and clear mixed. lots of runs and dust this time anyhow here are some pics of b4 and after cut & buff. 1st pic is deck lid after the paint went on. 2nd is fender after sanding and buffing before polish, and the last is the roof after polishing. turned out nice
I don't think there's a person on the planet who enjoys sanding But like they say, the more you put into it, the better it's going to look in the end, and that's sure paid off here, looking great
As for sanding, I think of it more as sculpting. When you're sanding throughout ALL the phases: the bodywork; the surfacing; the paint prep and the final cut and buff, you're "sculpting" the final result that everyone sees. It's worth it to "get into it" and enjoy. I do... O.J.
