So, time for another update
Started off today taking a break from the electrical nightmare of things not working then randomly seeming fine for no reason (blower motor) and decided to try to work on the paint some. I started off with some polishing, then decided to try my hand at some wet sanding. I have wet sanded headlights and tinted tail lights before, but there really isn't much risk there... mess up and just re-tint them, but I have never touched paint on a car before.
Took a few pics of current condition of the paint
This is after some polishing. Now don't freak out here, it looks like crap because it has only been compounded at this point which is a very aggressive cut polish. This step MUST be followed by a medium cut then a fine cut polish to look right.
Here is the familiar nasty scratch on the front door. This is after polishing with the compound and the medium cut.
Front door again after polishing, not fine cut yet.
Back to the scratch on the front door. I filled most of the nastiness in with touch up paint then let it dry and wet sanded it down level.
Compounded, not medium or light cut polish yet. Where did the scratch go???
This is the back door, the scratch is been filled in with a touch up pen, but as we all know when you use touch up paint it leaves nice little raised spots above the rest of the paint.
I decided I didn't want ANY more orange peel... wetsanded the entire top of the door.
Close up of the paint, rock chip in there that needs some work and you can see the scratch a little on the bottom yet.
Half the door compounded
Door completely compounded and medium cut polish done, still no fine cut or wax.
