My 325iC Body/Paint Project

Thanks! I used 1500 for most of it and it worked great, but the hood had the worst peel in it (and overspray) so I bumped it down to 1000 to get it out. It was actually pretty painless, just had to keep running my hand over it to make sure I didn't get too deep. You can feel the difference between peel and smooth really easy, but can't see it till its completely dry. I would also recommend using the 1000 on sags or drips. I had a sag on the fender and it took it out great. I used a foam block for everything, then the paper and a finger for the ridges on the hood, etc.

Looks great man! I'm looking forward to seeing it after a few more coats of clear.

nice. How much wetsandind does it take to get peel like that gone?

[bimmerboy12]

OK Update Time: wetsanded tonight with 1500... No more orange peel! Took it all down to smoooooooooth... I decided im going to spray more clear after this maybe two more coats. Will happen this weekend.

wicked awesome. I want to see the results of the wetsanding and buffing.

would like to see how you mounted rear valance to bumper....

I used the course wood screws provided in the RD kit to secure the "hooks" onto the bumper. Filled with urethane based filler. used two wood screws on the ends for good measure.

If the car had a body like yours, I would show you a thing or two about smoothing out rough finishes!

Keep the shirtless pictures coming, it keeps me coming!!!
I'll be thinking of you rubbing me with some 1000 grit sand paper on my love button tonight.

what are the point of your posts?

I'm not saying the car looks like crab......it's just so so.

I'm a pro at paint and body......been doing it for 27 years. Painted everything from Mazdas to Maseratis . The orange peel is going to kick you in the sack later on
