Started on the sanding this week, i found that i had to start with 400grit wet rub to effectively flatten the paint. Its been a fair amount of work  trying to remove scratches by using 800, 1200 and 1500grit to effectively remove most sanding scratches.

Final step in the paint prep was to apply cutting compound with the buffer....here is a sample of the results so far.

I'll try get to apply yellow paint this weekend, more to come.
