Re: Paint, paint, and more paint

The clear coat on the top of my old dark blue 81 4k 5+5 started to craze and
peel. I wet sanded it down using a DA with 400 grit, hit it with some 600
grit, and then used an orbital polisher with increasingly fine grit rubbing
compund to put the shine back on. I won't say it turned out show room
quality, but it certainly looked a lot better than when I started. Trying to
get into the gutter rails is a PITA. It took about 6 hrs to do.
