Very nice info. For some reason people just can't seem to put some sandpaper to a newly painted surface in fear of messin it up but you obviously see the results of doing so properly here. Great info againIt does not matter what you ride as long as it has two wheels and at least one on the ground!

i love how buffing looks, just make sure whoever is going to try this that u have your pieces well secured before you buff. ive thrown a couple small fairing pieces across the room by not doing so as well as i should have. almost lauched my front fender even though i had it pretty secured. i always try to buff with the bike together when possible but some pieces cant be reached when theyre on the bike.Last edited by CHutch; 07-03-2008, 01:45 PM.

If you get orange peel in your color, then paint over it with clear and sand the clear, will you be able to see the peel in the color?
I don't know, I have always color sanded and clear sanded just to be on the safe side, but if I knew I didn't have to color sand, that would be awesome.

I recently purchased a pneumatic mini polisher similar to the one shown below, that works great when the parts are off the bike and I have no one available to assist. It also works great at getting into some of the harder to reach areas.

Orange peel is usually caused from laying on heavy coats of clear and it not flowing out smoothly.I don't have a short temper. I just have a quick reaction to bullshit.
