I use Valspar Debeer, it's supposed to be really good. Must be the painter that's not so good Last couple panels came out a lot better for flow but the trash is still deeper than I'm used to and I'm still having issues with the sand scratches when color sanding.
Where do you post pics here on the web site? I haven't really searched for it yet. Rob

Crazy times for sure. I've pretty much lost my mind doing the cut and buff. It all looks great through the sanding stages with a sun gun to boot. By the time I finish buffing there's sand scratches everywhere, not at a glance but when you Really look it's there. I've given up, I'll finish the rest of the pieces, build the car and worry about it later.
Look forward to some pics of the bird progress Dennis! Speaking of pics, I managed to copy all my pics out of photobucket, took forever but it had to be done. I'll take a pic one day and figure out how to upload it here Rob

Look at that COLOR!!!!
I'm no Fan of cutting and Buffing anymore I Sand with 1200 Once! that's it! Use the Wool pad and other pads from there. The Multiple Sanding steps with multiple grits causes more problems than its worth in my opinion. Dennis B.

Dang, I wish I could knock it flat with 1200 and be able to buff out the scratches. I used to go to 2000 and buff the Chroma Premier no problem. No luck with this, it looks good until you really look hard from various angles. What are you using for buffing compounds?
