It doesn't get more in depth than that. And all I've read 2000 vs 3000 is no different unless you have magnifying eyes. For a track car 2000 is plenty. Its glossy and parked next to a Hyundai yesterday the orange peel looked like a pepperoni pizza. Its a amazing the little things you start to see when you've done something personal.

Thanks, I need a new arm though. Getting tired.
Scotch brite would have been enough ;-)

To OP, I respect and enjoy reading your journals. You have a great skill set and very adventurous. Kudos.

Just out of interest is it single stage paint you are using? I am assuming the rattle can paint is 1 pack? 1k.
