I know you are not there yet, but it will be interesting to see how you paint the warriors on the cabinet.
Quoted from Skins:Thanks guys. Other than my tiny flub, it is stunning. It's 10x better than the pictures show.
No kidding. Every time I nitpick a small inclusion, I have to remind myself where the cab started from. The head was in bad shape.
Use 1,000 then 1,500 and the 3,000 grit wet/dry sandpaper wet then sand, sand, sand. Then buff and polish. Probably a couple hours of work for a damn nickel sized mistake.
Do you just sand that tiny area or the entire cabinet?
Quoted from Skins:No, in order to sand and level the clear without going through the clear to the color base coat, it has to be relatively thick. The plus side is you can't feel the stencil edges at all when it's all said and done. It's completely smooth when done. I would guess 4 coats.
What about the time between each coat? Thanks!
Quoted from Skins:I'm going to try clearing my cpr silver myself. The existing clear is abysmal. I see how that goes.
Let me know, I got one I would like to clear.
