Probably another hour of sanding and buffing would do more justice.

I spend a good half of yesterday wet sanding from 320, 360, 400, 600, 800, 1200, 1500, 2000. Made a very dramatic difference.
Left is after sanding and right is before sanding

I also applied a layer of clear for UV protection but I was overly excited and started buffing and polishing which actually striped the clear coat off. :duh:. I will have to wet sand from 1200 and wait for the clear to cure for a day before I polish again, anyways here is how they look atm.

Awesome work mate that stuff is a mongrel to work with.
Thanks mate .. I am slowly getthing there ...Sure is a mongrel to work with .. I almost went through a box of 50 gloves. Worst thing in when cutting, triming. The carbon dust is deadly, I bite the bullet and bought a proper resporator instead those disposible dust mask, small price to pay for my life.
I react to fiber dust on my skin pretty badly, one time I had a small cut on my arm, I was cutting fiber glass without long sleeves, fiber dust and sweat doesn't mix !!!! It itched like a MOFO. Next morning I woke up with a raw half 5 cent ulcer on my arm, I basically dug out flesh during my sleep. I have learnt Always safely first working with composite no matter big or small job !!
Looks awesome :bigok: I may have a suggestion for a future project ;)
Wow thanks for suggesting that Raymond:DQuote:
