Oh I'm paying for it. I couldn't move this morning I was so sore. 15 minutes in a hot shower and I could at least walk upright A couple of Aleve later I could finally take a few steps and quit wincing. It's awful growing old.

No more 1000 grit. 2000 is working fine. Should be easier to buff also. If I had finer I'd go there. Hope this thing doesn't harden up before I get it sanded. AMAZING how easy this color sanding is with fresh stuff.





Starting to get cocky.... I think this will buff up okay.

Question paint guys. How do you do what I call a ghost. I've seen stripes done in cars that are translucent. I think some translucent stripes of the lower color would look good in the spots I have sanded. Add a few drops of color to the clear?
