Time vs Effort for final pre-paint prep
I have decided to sand the car back to the glass prior to getting it properly painted. The paint that Chris put on was a quick covering for the Exeter show and what I added certainly didn't enhance the show room finish. It was always the plan to get it properly painted so now I am starting the prep.
Sanding down the panels is so easy (NOT) with all the curves but the random orbital sander is earning its money.
What I am finding though are various low spots on the body. They didn't really show when the whole car was painted but as I remove the red paint and go through the white under coat to the black body shell they stand out beautifully.
Now do I carefully remove the residual paint from theses dips, fill them and sand them flat?
I fear that they are so shallow I will make the situation worse as I couldn't see them on the old paint job before I started sanding. The worry is that if I get a decent paint job they will suddenly become obvious.
What is the general opinion, fill and sand flat or leave them?
I will post pictures when it is light again and not raining.
