i finally got my car back after 4 months of painting....sucky slow painter....well it has some orange peel and rund how do you go about sanding the things out please post them is the steps of each process THANKS

 

There really aren't alot of steps.



Step one: Wet sand with a hand block and 1000 grit sand paper.

Step Two: Buff.


Now if you can buff, good. But if not find someone who does 'cause there stands a chance that a novice can burn the paint. Painting is easy, getting the paint job to shine isn't as easy.

 

I'll give you a hand also...
Good advice...
Not too bad, but it begs the question... how much paint is on the car...ie; how many coats???
Base clear? single stage?
Are you lookingf for a show finish or just gloss? 1000g is kinda coarse unless you're buffin' your *** off. 1500g or 2000g, is preferable for base/clear depending on how dry the paint actually is. (by dry I mean how much orange peel not the cure time)
also good advice...nothing can f##k up a paint job quicker than someone who doesn't know how to buff.
Not really, If you've got gloss issues, you're probably using the wrong hardeners or reducers.
good luck, let us know if you need any help.

 

how is the overall condition of this paint? obviously not to be rude but i'm assuming you didn't pay much if the painter didn't already take care of this for you. it's very easy to ruin a paintjob with a piece of sand paper. if you have absolutely no knowledge i'd leave it alone.

if the paintjob was a $100 quickie and it doesn't matter then go ahead an practice. plenty of tips on the internet as well as here alone to get you in the right direction.

 

Read this, this will give you an idea of whats involved.

eastwood makes a gizmo that will shave off paint runs. works like a wood plane
