Here is some serious 800grit block sanding vs non sanded end of the panel


I used the top of the car as a test subject since I put the most clear on it. I did 800 block, 1000 block, 1500 DA, 2000 block, 3000 DA trizact. After that a quick hit with some cutting agent. I can still see the orange peel so I'm knocking it back down hopefully I don't go too deep its hard to judge...


Side shot of the peel after some 800blocking.


Finally today I finished the nose off. Just needs some work with the DA polishing.

theres no outward facing panel on the windows of a vs-xx, it wouldn't stand out like on Kev's VIP modulars with brushed+ mirror windows and clear coat. idk if it would have the same boom factor as on a DPE/VIP modular, etc. Just IMHO
