Did you wet and dry them before you tinted them? Why would you want to wet sand them now?

he wants to wet sand them to get a smooth finish, thats what you do after spraying something lol. yeah use 1500 all over, i use ultimate compound to polish parts with, t cut can sometimes be a little to abrasive i find.
