can i wetsand my tails after i tint them i assume i can what kind of wax compond(s) do i need and what should i start with 800 or 1000

 

When I did mine and subsequently took it back off my process was:

-Paint with VHT
-2 Coats of clear
-Sit overnight
-Started sanding with 1000
-Went to 2000
-Polished with I believe Meguiars Professional Swirl Remover
-Coat of wax

 

thanx ill give it a try

 

Oh yeah you can definitely wetsand. I started with 1500, moved up to 2000, then 2500. After that was a rotary with turtle wax polishing compound. glossy as if they left the factory that way.

 

I did 1500 to 2000, then a rubbing compound, then a polishing compound, then wax...and you're done.

Before and after pictures.

 

^^^^ holy crap! the right one looks better than my current paint on my car!

That is epic... I will definately be giving my tails this treatment!!!

 

The best part about doing the wet sanding is I could take care of some runs that I had, as well as a few bubbles. Now, they're basically no flaws in the paint.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

 

Blackz28 what did grit paper did you use before spraying the vht on?

 

Not exactly sure, I think maybe 1000. Then cleaned them with 99.8% alcohol.

 

thanks.

 

I went to look, and it was 700 grit sand paper. I didn't spend more then a few minutes scuffing the tail lights.
