What grit sandpaper do you guys think I need to use while wet sanding before buffing? 1000? 1200? Any help will be appreciated. Just removing a mild orange peel. Acrylic enamel paint. Thanks!
No it's just what I guess you'd call single stage acrylic enamel, '06 corvette arctic white. It turned out well but with a bit of orange peel. I thank you all for the very helpful info. This weekend I'm gonna attack it then buff it out! Btw, I am Not a paint and body guy as ya'll can probably tell by the dumb question. ](*,)
The paint has been on it now for 8 days and I let it sit in the sun for 5 days to cure. Is that enough time to cure? I thought it was. The paint brand is Valspar. Again thanks to you guys for ALL the info! =D>
It should be fine to buff out now. If the car has heavy orange peel and your trying to get it completely flat you can start off with 1000 then go to 1500 then 2000. The finer the final grit of the paper you use last the easier it will buff up. If you don't have much peel then 1500 or even 2000 is a good paper to start out with. Use a soft block when you sand and stay away from the edges. Good luck.
