  1. Well, I stopped at 4 steady coats and I'm quite pleased with it so far. As for flatting back, how long should I leave it and what grade wet n dry should I be using?? I was thinking p1000-p1200 grade??
    Cheers
     
  2. Go at it lightly with 800 grit quality paper proper wet

    Then pop up here and ill lend you the mop and compund

    Honestly dude all that can be sorted later
    Give it four days above 10 deg c and put it back together
     
  3. Give it 4 days before flatting it back??
    Cheers for the offer of mop n compound, a mate has one who lives just up the road I can use.
     
  4. Yeah the longer you leave it the better in these temps

    It can appear dry but you hit it with the mop or paper and it will pull the paint
