I already have a fairly glossy finish after demoulding. So... On my first test peice I intend to use a clear automotive laquer from a spray can. Any input on what grit sand paper pre and post laquer and how many coats much appreciated. On my second I wish to use easygloss polishing compound once again any input on pre sanding application grits or anything like that or tips for applying the easygloss. Just bare no coating just a sanded finish tip on grits and what not. And lastly any other ideas that anyone put forward would be great such as gel coating or any thing else. Thank you in advance Keep on carboning David Tags easygloss Finishing glossy laquer sanding

When I do this I'm not looking for a polish finish, just a dull uniform finish to allow the PU to key into. If i'm polishing the part with no finish I just work up the grits to wet sanding until I'm happy with the finish then buff with a machine buffer & compound
