well,
yesterday i touched all my chips in with 2k paint, today i decided to denib them with 2000 paper,
then i decided i may aswell do the lot,
so test panel for smoothing out the orange peel was the wing,
first i cleaned it and then blocked followed by had flatted with wet 2000 paper.

after that i wiped down and hit it with 3000 trizact on a da, followed by a 6000 trizact on da
this gives a semi gloss finish

after that its the usual 3m fast cut process and a wax, this gives a really good refined and smooth finish
