funny onion Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Once i get my EP70 finished i might have to revive my glanza, what's your advice on smoothing the car over? just filler/block? the reflection is perfect on yours Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5T4R7ET N/A Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 ^^ as above dude, whats the technique.Flat it down with a fine sandpaper and polish using a fine compound? We want detail. Haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich-k Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 Okay guys i put about 15 hours into the wet flatting of the laquer alone to get rid of any dirt nibs or orange peel i did the large areas with a wet sanding block and the narrower edges by hand bare in mind i put 3 heavy coats of laquer on my car so keep that in mind when your flatting yours back as there may not be much laquer on the panel! Also if your doing this to a lighter colour such as a white or a silver you really dont need to go to a great deal of effort with the flatting as most imperfections never show up but if you have a darker colour such as a black blue or purple you really need to be anal as it shows up everything also be prepared to repolish your car a few weeks later as it will most likely sink its just one of the cons to flatting an entire car.But heres what i did i blocked out all orange peel and any dirt nibs with a 1500 wet or dry paper (i did this wet)Then i went over everything with a 2000 grade this just allows for the sanding marks to buff up easier, i did this untill the panel was completely matt and no imperfections where found. Constantly dry off and check the panel to ensure you havnt burnt through especially if your new too this.Then i started buffing with a fast cut/scratch remover compound depending on weather you have a light or a dark car will determin how many passes with the buffer you need to make you may find with a dark colour you need to make about 5 or 6 passes untill all flatting marks are gone and lighter colours usually around 3 this all depends on your skill level and how brave you are with the buffer lol some people like to use water when buffing i personally dont as its messy but its up to you remember to keep the buffer perfectly flat when buffing and use a fair bit of pressure other wise it will skip along the panel if you apply enough pressure you can let the buffer do all the work.Try not to use the edges of the buffing head as the heat builds up and this can causev you to burn through, check after each pass and allow the panel time to cool down if needed, technique comes with practice so just get stuck in if you have a buffer with a variable speed start at a low rpm and work up.I then used a finer anti hologram compound did about 2 passes with gets rid of any swirlys caused by heat from the buffer.Then finally i used a really good quality wax and she shined like a mirror.Mask up or remove any handles rubbers mirrors etc as you dont wanna mark them with your buffer Quote Link to post Share on other sites

funny onion Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Thanks for the advice rich, i need to have a good practise at flatting/buffing. I can get the panel nice and flat without burning through, but i can never get it to buff up properly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
