Hello Y'all!
I have a 2001 Ranger which needed some body work, so for the first time ever, I applied bondo, and painted it using a matching Duplicolor rattle can paint.
The Duplicolor paint was okay, but I didn't care for the way it dispensed, plus the can was a little small. As a result, I held the can a little close to the metal that I was painting. As a result, while I got decent coverage, there is some orange peel, and a few paint drips and runs.
I have 1,000 grit paper, and a Maguires product meant to buff out the scratches made by the paper. So here's my question: how many passes do I make when I wet sand the paint? I want to eliminate the paint drips and runs, but I don't want to take too much of the paint off. I also imagine that using a small orbital sander with the 1,000 grit paper is a bad idea, that hand sanding is a better option?
Thanks in advance
