Editing Buffing your newly-finished paint

== Introduction ==

This is the second part of finishing off your paint job. Doing this will bring out pure brilliance of the paint, while eliminating all impurities of the paint.


== Basic Concept ==
now you have made a choice,you are going to finish you ride and its going to be a show paint job,one question,is this all that you want or do you want the look!,everyone can get (the look),i have done it quite a few times and have pulled it off with good results,and (the look)took the show and people liked everything!.....the concept is just that (the look)and what it intails and what it holds for (u),its there you must pull all your power up from what ever is in your being and do it!....the sanding the body the paint the buffing is the icing on the cake,it can be done and you will do it,its just a kind of (style)you use and what you use and how you use it!,sounds like a game or some sort of game of chance doesnt it,or does it?,read on and see.............bourne51.

== Wetsanding ==
a lot of people dont think of the total value of a good wetsand job,its only when they start buffing is when they find out its back to the drawing board(did not do enought wetsanding),so let me get you guys and gals stright,in the process everyone calls-wetsanding,  a way to get a show finish,i have taken many awards for my cars and bikes so let me tell you the term(block until you drop) is the name of the game! a lot of people use other methods but the (english type)is what i use.the method is condsidering the car bike or truck or whatever is stright and good pannels,correct paint just right ect. you can go for the finish,first out you must take a fender,side and flat parts, look to see how much you must re-flatten,cover all sharp corners with 1/2 inch tape(masking)and use,1000grit this is considering everything is in very good shape,clear is flat color right ect.you use (at least i do) a 5gal.bucket with one shot of dish soap,then blend it with the luc-warm water and sand until the surface is completely flat.i use a 3m squigi and pull back on the sanded surface and notice if any shine is present if it is flat go to the next area,do not over reach it will burn you out,also if the surface is still (unsanded),keep re-sanding the area until a flat simi gloss,flat surface is achived.the finer the paper the more simi gloss it will be.you keep doing this until the whole car is done with 1000,now you will have to do this on every grit-level you use!!! so now you will do the whole car in 1500,2000,2500,3000(yes there is a 3000 grit!!!),this is the way i get notice by the judges,and they see the finish and its right!,so this is how i do a sandjob,it will take anywere for one-week to 2 1/2 weeks to get it right but when its right! then you can buff it out with ease and not much pressure
because the surface is pre-polished,and it only takes a bit of buffing to do the rest,so go for it the only thing is you must take the time to do it right!..(bourne51)........
