Re: Color sand all panels?

Try Orileys auto parts if you guys have them there (?) or Napa usually keeps it in stock.

2000 would do it too, just super super light. It's going to haze your clear up, don't panic. The compund will bring it right back up.

You will be amazed at the shine. Look at the haze after you sand it and it has dried.. it will tell you exactly what needs to happen. If it looks like satin, move on. If it needs more attention you'll know it. Use a block, dont sand it with your fingertips. Keep it clean, keep the paper wet and cross over your strokes like you're blocking the panel.

Take your time ! Taping the edges is a good idea. The paint on my GMC got a little thin in places.
