1966 Valiant Signet Convertible Resto
Well I picked up the deck lid last night and got to work on it today. I knocked it down lightly with 1000, then 1500, then 2000, then buffed and glazed it today. Took me about 4 hours to get it almost perfect. I still think I need to buff a little more to get the micro scratches out and a little more even shine. I don't have a big polishing wheel. I just have the small 4" one for the tight spots.
I really didn't want to push it and go past the clear. I'm happy leaving well enough alone for now. My painter has much better skill at detailing than I. The are maybe five tiny, microscopic pinholes I noticed, but nothing serious.
This color is SICK. Metallics are so cool. I'm so happy I put in all the extra effort I into these panels. One down and 5 to go. :cheers: Plus the quarters.
don't mind the darker spots. My camera sucks
I can't wait now for the doors to come in this friday. :cheers:
