If you have at
least 3 medium to wet coats, you can wet sand it with
a rubber block
using 600, then 800 grit paper, then buff out with
liquid buffing
compound and an 1800 rpm buffer with a wool pad. Repairing
scuffed
tips requires the edges to be sanded with 220, then
shot, when wet
sanding out this repair you may show the grey primer
at the
edge..............that's why white primer is the best.
PCL Polyprimer
907 white, it's PE.............use any wax that doesn't
have silicone,
I use Mothers (milk?), don't like the way WX block
goes on after
buffing the ship out.......doesn't seem to spread evenly.

LS-3, I don't have much info on the finish (long story).
The finish is 10 years old and still looks good except
for a few rough areas on the wings. I'm not sure about
the paint thickness but it appears thin in areas on
the tops of the wings. I will probably take it down
to M&H next year to fix since any sanding on the tops
of wings will probably go through. Can you just shoot
new paint on these areas after sanding down and blend
in?
