lol yeah i thought 1-2 days tops and it would all be done....no way ended up a 3 day job:doh::lol:
theres serious issues with the fitment on some of them panels thats for sure!
lightly rub over the panel untill theres no shine left on it so its completely flat and matt looking.
then compound the panel with g3 or similar fareclay then polish it.
it will then come out with a perfect flat shine and no orangepeel effect!

get some 1200 wet n dry, bar of soap and bucket of water, wrap the 1200 in a rubbing block or small sponge (like you get from supermarket for washing up) then soak the panel and rub the bar of soap over it then rub the panel down 'being very carefull of edges' as paint comes off thes very easily!

yeah just take your time with it steve and im sure youll do a good job it aint hard.
dont matter if your sprayings a bit crap, flatting it down will sort that out for you, but the better your spraying is then the less rubbing you have to do.
