Part 4: Sanding and prep for paint
On this part, I'm explaining how to sand with water sand paper to prepare for the final stage.
Please note I used canned finish at first, but YOU SHOULD NOT DO THIS. Use professionnal grade with a spay gun... The spay can will not be able to built thick enough for you to be able to sand after.
Even with a spay gun, don't hesitate to put more layers. The more, the better!
I'm talking about this product (2 part clear) in the video:

I haven't tryed it but I've heard good things around.
I recommend you to do 3 steps:
1000 grit, then
1500 grit, then
2000 grit.
This can also be done for fixing minors scratch or after correcting major cracks / dents by sanding the area and the surounding of the scratch / dent.
