Well, I've started the prep work, but have one last question. People have said (after sanding, prep work I mean) that it feels like glass, is that the basic kind of feel I'm going for after doing the prep sanding?

Just to give a descriptive idea of what it actually looks like, his hatch was red, no fading on it, now when I sanded down the hood with 150 grit its pretty much a dusty white with some red, not much though and does feel really smooth like glass after wiping it down.

Thats what I should be aiming for correct?

And we are taking pictures of our project, so once we actually get to the painting, will post some pictures and any tips or errors we run into.

Thanks, Matt.
