Scottie, if I could give one piece of advise with regard to painting it would be to learn when to walk away!

Phil, Cheers Phil, not as much as I have!

So today we are mostly wet sanding!
The orange peel is quite noticeable and is one of the down sides to using what I would refer to generically as "truck Coat" but I think is officially known as 2K Urethane topcoat. It goes on quite thick and does cover a multitude of sins but as it goes on thick it does by its nature leave an orange peel finish.

This shot gives you an idea of what I ended up with out of the gun:


After about a minute using 600 grit with water with a dash of cheep washing up liquid as the lubricant. You can see the tops of the highs has been removed but you can still see the lows as shiny areas.


The same spot a couple of minutes later and were pretty much down to a flat dull surface which is what were looking for:


A shot of the edge of the area so you can see the difference in stages.


More in a bit
