I painted the whole thing, then used rapid tac. If I hadn't used it, it would have gone south. Realized after placing half of the side decal that it was misaligned, and I was able to peel it back off and do it over. Yes, my heart was beating out of my chest, but it worked 
Quoted from Kerry_Richard:There are a ton of YouTube vids of wet sanding, especially on cars for fine finish spray painting.
I use a plastic Tupperware square bin ~10" x 10" with water in it. I dip (clean) my rubber sanding block often. It cleans the paint dust out, and makes your paper almost new again (ultimately it does wear out). I've usually put a very light squirt of Dawn dish soap in to help with cleaning and smoothness of the sanding strokes.
Will this work on scratched lockdown bars? I've been afraid to try.

Stay the same direction as the grain, you will be done in no time....
Cool, thanks! And wet sand with those? I have a whirlwind lockdown bar I'd like to make nice, but I have a spare I plan to practice on.
Quoted from ralphwiggum:I do dry, but you can do wet. I like the grained look more than the polished look.
Thanks guys. I'm gonna try it out. Sorry to derail.
