Step 6Paint prep
so the key to this paintjob is how shiny we can get it, and to do that I've got a couple of steps I'm going to go through.
first of sanded as smooth as you can, I used pretty low grade sand paper when I did the project nothing higher than 400 grit, but you may get better results with something more, I liked mine fine though.
after you sanded, do a little buffing, the smoother the shinier. I didn't use anything proffesional just my hands and a rag.
now we lay down the black or gray primer, a good even coat, then buff, thenblack laquer, a whole can of it, bufff, buff, buff
voila! look how shiny!
the pic's don't do justice, the thing looked very wet when I took the pictures yet it was dry, that's what you want.
