origginal hood is somewhere in tn, the bumper was an 89 and was cracked so its in some trash dump in tn, thats an oem bumper(90-91) with an aftermarket lip, sold the oem mirrors, if i couldnt sell it i threw it out.

and with that said instead of wetsanding to get orange peel out does anybody have a type of compound that could be hand applied to get it out?

 

[daveholiday]

gotcha

my uncle paints a lot of cars in his garage, he paints his friends cars, restores cars, etc, so since its midnight, I'll ask him tomorrow if he knows of anything to do other than wet-sanding

thanks but it might be a little to aggresive i think i am going to go with the step below the finishing polish. and daveholiday i will check back later to see if you have anything.

 

[daveholiday]

I called him this morning and he said he's heard of stuff but never used it and couldn't tell you what it was called, but he always just wet sands everything, said he always has and probably always will
