You'll also need to address that stabiliser once the chips are gone.
Dear gentlemen
thanks for all the comments and advise
so far so good I guess
did some breadknifing but not quite there yet I'd say... still a solid 7/8" though
the blokes at the bodyshop gave it a rub today so it turned out quite 'shiny'
wonder if I'll have to go for a straight edge or slightly smiling edge ?Attachment 295227
what would you guys advise please ?
Cheers , Bart
I think a straight edge is very possible. Its looking much better already.
Looks much better already. Nice work.
Well first of all the sections aren't that thin really - it's a hollow allright but not that 'extra' hollow thin... all is done by hand on the lower grits (guess they started at 600 wet) and went up to 1500 wet (600-800-1000-1200-1500) - then they move over to the pads (3000 wet) on a Festo (non rotating polishing device thus not producing heath) and finally on the 6000 pad wet - time spent on the pads is very short also...

Those trizact pads are great. I've used them a lot. Just need to take care not to round off straight lines with them as they are slightly padded. Good for polishing scales btw.
