Hi all, here's a pic of one of my original test pieces, it is a rusty metal dash that I only gave a quick sand before painting it with Tremclad using the Charger Airless Roller System or (C.A.R.S.) Registered Trademark name and system, Just throwin in some fun Charger, but it's not a bad idea.
This test piece was painted with 6 coats reduced by 20 to 25 % with mineral spirits, it was sanded after 2 coats with 1000, then 2 more coats were applied followed by wet sanding with 1000, then finished up with 2 more coats of paint follwoed by wet sanding with 2000.
I then used turtle wax brand polishing compound and hand buffed the piece as I don't own a buffing bonnet, the results were very good. but would have been many times better with an electric bonnet buffer.........Fred
