It's called polishing. He leveled the paint with fine grit polishing cloths, and then rubbed it with compound. No magic to it.:)

No magic to it.

Correct, all it takes is the right tools and a bit of elbow grease. With a bit of practice anyone can have great results.

Basically he used fine grit sandpaper to remove the orange peel in the clearcoat, and used Tamiya compound applied to a soft cloth to polish out the sanding marks. The sandpaper is to level off the surface finish so that it's completely flat, but not sanding through to the paint underneath. Practice will keep you from sanding through edges. I like using the soft polishing cloths in the 2400-12000 grit range, and have found that I can even get away with using only 3600 on a good clearcoat, and finishing it off w/compound.

It's not magic, it's just a bit of work...the results of which are worth the effort.

Here you go


A little, between opened, but you think it was exactly good to drying clearing.

This photograph is the body after the clearing paint drying.
Fairly well, the ツヤ has come out, but when it is about this, the phone mono っ ぽ く is not visible at all.
It meaning that the reflection of the illumination with respect to the right which moves to the bonnet has become dim, you can be understood, probably will be.

What this reflection that tries appears clearly starts grinding, is.

Well it will begin.
----------------------------------
As for new one you think certainly you hesitate, but like the photograph it keeps applying the paper excitingly.
Exciting saying, inserting power random, you do not have to polish.
It clears in order to be painted cleanly, being visible, the surface fairly well the デコボコ. When the paper is applied, because the デコボコ is well recognized, while looking at the デ コ ボ コ condition, not applying, it polishes in the attitude that as much as necessary it polishes the place where is not good.

Also the bonnet of the photograph has become all over true っ white, but it does the process which is polished little by little little by little.
-------------------------------------

Cutting small, you use the paper, but those where even the among those you use are just the part which is close to the edge of four side.
The second hand, it is state foreward the one step which is thrown away in state of the photograph.
The edge has been twisted, becoming limp, it has stopped being usable.
It is visible that the white powder has been attached in angle under the truth, probably will be? When this polishes, it is the powder of clearing which comes out
-----------------------------------

About 1 hour half at the point in time when you spent it starts grinding with this and it is state.
Still you do not apply extensively when and, the powder whose the place where you applied clearing is white is wiped, the part where the デコボコ is recognized variegated remains to be many.
The view, patience it keeps applying the paper to such part well.
Securely the smoothness when it puts out, when the compound is applied, oh with while saying, the ツヤ which has depth reveals itself.

It is afterwards, the fact that it is red is today of スモガレ participation.
Properly, in parallel, it is is.
From tomorrow! (^_^;
---------------------------------------

March 15th of 2002 (gold)

To tell the truth it did not raise here, but also yesterday did the paper per seat. The paper per seat to the whole was done temporarily.
You forgot to say, but the paper is the #2000 of the well-known タミヤ.

So, it is not end with this.
From present experience, at this stage as for the surface the デコボコ it has done still, but when just this the paper is applied, because that is not well recognized, applying one time compound here, we have decided to know the state of the surface.
-----------------------------------

It is the around the door.

Also this, when it polishes with the compound, is about the デコボコ it has done fairly well.
-----------------------------------

Like the photograph to the left, winding the tissue in the index finger, it polishes the compound.

To be light lightly with the index finger with the る way, it polishes.
Without inserting either power, it is the feeling that is slipped with the paste of the compound.
The compound becoming hard, when it stops sliding, changing the tissue directly, attaching the new compound, it polishes.
-----------------------------------

About 1 hour half spending, the compound entire one sort it is in a state where it is applied.

The ツヤ has come out, but don't you think? the reflection having become dim after all a little, it will not have been clear. The surface of paint does above thinking, being to be something which the デコボコ has been done. Especially because you blow the warachan with the thin nozzle, it has become so excessively. Before (the thin nozzle drying is fast, the surface becomes smooth it becomes firm, don't you think? it is is)

Temporarily, after doing one time rinse, you apply the paper for the second time. It is the case that two degrees and three times do the paper per seat & the compound per seat in the range of the clear coating film whose one time blowing is thin, but being smooth with this, real it is the case that thin clear layer is completed.
--------------------------------

It is the body which rinses.

Because the surface has become soft with the compound per seat, after one evening making dry with this, we will have decided to do the for the second time paper per seat.
--------------------------------

March 21st of 2002 (wood)

When the place where it has the デコボコ with the paper was made smooth, after all and the paper was applied entirely. (^_^;

Until now, you did not write, but the paper naturally is the #2000.
-------------------------------

Again, patience it is good with the compound, enhances lightly.
The small scratch still remains, but this time it was finished in the ツヤ which it can be satisfied.

When you compare with the photograph March 13th, the difference is well recognized.
(The photograph March 13th to go out the next renewal time, because the ち ゃ it is, as for comparison ahead of time! (^. ^))

This way, if it enhances easily, two time papers per seat, the compound per seat is possible even with the clearing one time blowing, it is is.
It is something where the coating film is thick fairly well.
---------------------------

Whole and such feeling.

In order not to be different from the photograph March 15th excessively, it is visible, but the ツヤ the impression is different moistly at all.

After the after the this, furthermore to be light turning off the small scratch with the compound, it enters into the paint of the sash.
--------------------------

March 24th of 2002 (day)

Finding spare time, attaching the compound to the tissue, when connection connection it has done, depth keeps increasing steadily in the ツヤ, truly the mirror surface finish becomes.
Furthermore, is not the ツヤ which is made the ぼ て っ and only being sharp it is similar to the ツ ヤ of the actual car, the original ろ it is with it finishes in the feeling which is done.
This is cherished opinion of the warachan, but there being a question saddle ツヤ which the coating film or unevenness of the coating film is not brought close to 1/24, the actual car っ ぽ く it is not visible, it is you think as the kana which is not.
Because (this is each person, you think various thought may be. That becomes taste of the respective production person, you think. it is is)
-------------------------

As for bonnet such feeling. (^ 0 ^)

Don't you think? in this way, when you see, the after all actual car paint, it is recognized that metallic is rough. So as for this there is no strange feeling as an entire atmosphere. When the light/write it checks harshly to here, it is the level that it is conspicuous.

It became good color. (^ 0 ^)
----------------------------

It is the roof.

Appearing, those where the っ て it is are the framework of everyone well-known paint booth. The cup part of the spray work hand piece has appeared the on that.

It appears clearly to here, it is the feeling, which it is satisfied, satisfaction.
----------------------------


It starts grinding at last with this, completion!

Black paint is done next in the sash.
Also the part where the メタルック is pasted paints with black.
There is a ツヤ in regard to this car and uses black.

Don't you think? as for the masking the fact that you use when always it is cut off well is the point.
------------------------------

After blowing black, it is.

By the way, when it is the タミヤスプレーワークハンドピース small blowing nozzle which the warachan uses, only the range like the photograph it flies the paint.
-----------------------------

Before black hardens completely, the masking tape is peeled entirely.

Being to be the dark green and black, it is not conspicuous excessively, but it is temporarily well painted.
Simply, arranging the foundation a little, whether the one which already it tries to put out the ツヤ of black a little was good, the しれません.

After the perfection hardening, we will have decided to apply the compound lightly.
------------------------------

When it comes to here, you will take also the masking tape of the interior.
The result is sort of the photograph.

It could make clean.

If next pastes, must be detail paint and the メタルック of the body so so paint of the window glass and the tail lamp lens, don't you think?.

Unless before the that, the To D body is finished, * & * (the ^_^;
