Wet sanding

It is not to bad, just don't try it on a car you love for a first try.
I learned from a great paint guy many years ago, and if I can learn it anyone can.
Just find someone to show you in person. You can't really read how to do it, you need to see and feel.
Then take your time.

Yes, and they are. It was a garage paint job and there wasnt enough clear. It is fun, but tons of work.

If you are into a project that requires wet sanding or body work--JUST REMEMBER-- it was messed up when you started if you don't fix it the only thing that will happen is it's still messed up. Take your time and you might learn something, you can't mess it up any more unless you are a real clutz.
