Re: Paint Finish Help

I would consider some 2000 or 2500 grit wet and dry sanding paper and a rubber backing piece to get the paint smoother before doing the buffing step. Many body shops truy to match the factory finish that believe it or not has a certain amount of orange peel in it's finish. If you want it to shine, be prepared to buff the whole vehicle to get it to all match. I would also ask the body shop just how much clear coat that they put on, so that you don't overdue the polishing and rub through to the basecoat.
