    Default DIY: Wet sanding ?

    When I bought my car it had a cheap macco paint job.
    So it has orange peel all over. I've heard that wet sanding will get it out.
    Read some tutorials about it online, but everybody has a different method.

    Has anybody every done it before?

    How where your results?

    Is it o.k so wetsand a cheap ass paint job?

    What grit sand paper should I use?


    Any information on the matter in appreciated.
    TIA

    It all depends how much paint there is to sand. So be careful because maaco might not have put that much paint down. I have done it before and its turned out quite well. Just gotta have patience. you MUST have a sanding pad or block or else you'll get burns all over the place 1500-2000 will work. But remember your final result wont be shiny. it'll just be smooth. It has to be buffed w/ compound and polish before you get a glassy finish. You can also burn through paint w/ the buffer
