Title: SO i decided to spray a small section on my front panel/door/well lots...
Post by: mix on 15 June 2006, 22:25
and where i masked it off i have been left with a little ridge (I have laquered it aswell... :undecided: ) and my bro says that i should use cutting compound to "flatten" it...but i havent got any at the moment, what i have got is a load of wet and dry....would it be better to sand it back very lightly and then reapply another coat of laquer (also it has run slitghly  :embarassed: )

Which should i use?

Mix, stop mate what are you doing? Painting a car is different to spraying it mate. Take your time and do it properly, don't rush it mate.

Mind you you could do the first Golf multi colour MK2 gti model! :grin: Just like the Polo. :drool:

Nowt wrong with a bit of home spraying using rattle cans. I'm repainting a complete mini with em at somepoint this year.

Just take your time and keep flatting it back and you can get an excellent finish.

Keep up the good work Mix.

The Multi Colour/Panel  Mk2 has been done! See the Bristol Volkfest photos!

As for you Mix having seen the photos of that car I think its worth doing a good job mate so take your time use the finest wet and dry you can get and be gentle!

Patience is a virtue that most students have yet to acquire! :grin:
