Civic full wet sand-A LOT OF PICTURES

[pampos]

Finally i finished the wet sanding/polishing on my Civic..It took me about a week because i was doing part by part...Sorry for the large amount of picturs but it is my first time on this + rotary polishing....

I used the follow sand papers:

1000 grit Megs

2000 grit 3M

2500 GRIT Megs

3000 grit Megs

Sanding mark removal with Megs #85 + Megs twisted wool pad

Correction

Menzerna SIP+RD3.02 on LC CCS 6,5 orange foam pad

Menzerna RD3.02 + 106FF on LC CCS green foam pad

Menzerna 85RD 0n LC CCS 6,5'' black foam pad

DWG on the top

No LSP because the car has been resprayed 3 weeks ago...



So here we go with pictures

Wow pampos, a tremendous undertaking, good job! How did you wetsand? On a machine, or by hand with a block? Good choice repainting the fade job you had on it a few weeks ago, looks much better, nice flake!

Fantastic work pampos :goodjob. Wow that was a lot of wet sanding. Do you know how muck paint was removed after all of that? How did you find the new paint to work with?

 

[Flashtime]

Go take a visit with the old painter and tell him you painted it yourself.

And With rattle cans.

Unfortunately i have no idea how much CC left on the car because it had a lot of layers of paint and CC before i resprayed it black,so my PTG was useless in that case....It was easy to remove the orange peel but it was harder for me to remove the sand marks...

I was afraid of the rotary a little but, i made some deep scratches with the sand paper and also as i said i had no idea of the level of CC..But for a first time i think i have done a nice job there

much better than the previous paint job, the paint looks dripping wet. The only difference I see is that the blue flake in your paint job is alot more apparent versus the stock muted flake in the oem nighthawk black pearl. But this is 100 times better than your other paint scheme. Good job!

You are an inspiration! First time sanding and first time rotary? Wow, just Wow! The 50/50 shots are exceptional as is the overall look. Congratulations.
