    Hey guys.



    A couple of weeks ago, while removing some antiquated painted-on pinstripes on my Midnight Maxim using scratch remover and a lot of elbow grease over many hours, I inadvertantly removed too much paint (only a couple of match head sized areas).



    I had to lightly spray some of the front fender with a good quality rattle can paint. The paint looks to match really, really close, so I like it.



    I have some automotive body repair type 2000 and 3000 sandpaper I was planning to use to wet sand the slight orange peel texture smooth, then buff polish it to a shine.



    Am I on the right track?



    I lean toward the mechanical technology and am new to the paint and body world.

    Yea right track OK, just go easy.

    I would try a good polish first. Try your local body repair shop and ask them for a polish with a good cut in it. (Meaning gritty). This will usually do it.

    If the body shop is any good he wont charge for a dawb of polish. :wink:
