We've always done final sanding w/ 400 grit or higher and metallics always lay in smooth. Can't wait to see this beast complete.

Also, thank you for your service sir.
thanks for the info, i started with 40 grit--->100 then epoxy primed, and sanded that with 300, then sprayed 2k primer... will sand down to 600 before i put any color on it..., maybe even finer...

it was a privilege to serve...

kind regards
