aaaaaaaand the saga continues...
im SO close.
so im having a hellava time getting this turbine to lay down paint flat. always has a bunch of orange peel.
so my latest bright idea was to load a test panel with paint so that when I wet sand I wont burn through. I put 5 wet coats on.
wet sanded and buffed... and guess what? no deeper looking scratches like I had been getting. Problem solved... but not so fast...
NOW there was still orange peel visible after buffing.. so I guess spraying coat after coat of orange peel is a no no? do the coats not melt into eachother? the orange peel LOOKS flat but you can still see it in the reflection. I will get pics tomorrow.. I will also try sanding a little deeper tomorrow and see what happens.
it basically looks like factory orange peel finish now,,looks pretty much like my 2018 fusion paint LOL . not exactly what I was going for.. but acceptable I guess..
