Following on from my last post did a full wet sanding on the paintwork to remove all the orange peel. Every panel was heavy with orange peel and some paint defects like what look like dust, maybe flies that had landed on the paintwork before it had dried.

Did the whole car working through wet and dry grades 2000, 2500 and 3000 and then buffed up. Was quite pleased.

Sorry did not take any before's as just started cracking on but was the worse orange peel ive ever seen Smile
