Removing Orange Peel?
Couldnt find this forum in the search tool so i hope this isnt a repost...
Anyway I just painted my sideskirts and there is alot of orange peel
what would be the best way to remove this? I was thinking 800 / 1500 stepped wetsand then polish? I want it to be smooth and glossy but im afraid the wetsand will kill it....
any advice is greatly appreciated...

i agree.. 1500, 2000, then cut compound, polish, and finish it with hand glaze... MIRROR SHINE

Re: (alltech_hybrid)
agree with all, basic tecniques vary on the color, imo 3m products are the best,
and if you are a good buffer you can usually get away with using just 1500, 3m buffing compound, then 3m perfectit glazing polish,
if you are chalkboarding (completely flat) you want to probably go 1000 or 1200, then 1500 or 2000
i personaly would never use 1000 grit paper on blacks or other dark colors unless you are sanding a lot

I use a regular rubbing compound on a white pad, then the same rubbing compound on a black foam pad, then on a new black foam pad I use the finishing glaze (no not a hand glaze, a finishing glaze or a "swirl mark remover"). So no, nothing in between compound and glaze, and I've never had a problem, nor have I had swirls, or dull spots from nibbing.
