Then lets see. this is a car thats stays in my garage over the winter, the owner was going to repaint it to the summer becaus the paint was all messed up so i told him i could try and fix it for him as i need to practice my wetsanding skills :)

I started using 2000grid wetsanding paper, lots of water!

then i polished the worst using a rotary and wollpad and 3M Fastcut PLUS

verry fun car to drive. scares the hell out of people thats not ready for the kick it gets when you hit high boost :P
 
So far it looks like your doing a great job, you see the difference polishing makes dont you



Keep it up:kewlpics
 
Looks great!!! I miss my old S14. The OEM paint went horrid rather quickly (clearcoat failure) as the 90's Nissan paints weren't too forgivable to miscare, good to see one that was salvageable without a repaint.



Here are some before and afters of mine from when I had it painted.

Ignore the buffer trails and halogramming, that is from the bodyshop that did the paint abusing rotaries and glaze.
