Does anyone know of a link and or could explain how to "properly" wet sand clearcoat? I'm wanting to do my own, to save some cash.

Thanks!

Steve, The learning process of color sanding and buffing can be painful and expensive. $400.00 for a professional cut and polish is not unreasonable. It's labor intensive and takes a certain amont of skill.
"how hard can it be"? very hard! It's a skill mastered by few.

Have another peice of metal painted and try it before you f*^K up your brand new paint job. Having it repainted will cost a lot more than the $400.00. Go grab a faded hood from a junk yard and try to "bring it back to life" before you attempt your own new paint job.
