I had plans of painting it the seacrest green but upon some boredom sanding o discovered that very color. My question is could a rubbing compound get the base color off to expose the original paint without destroying it. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 1,362 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 1,362 | It would take a long time. Better to sand with something like 1500 wet or dry, wet. It would cut faster than rubbing compound would, at it would be pretty slow, you could use finer too, I think they color sand with 2000 or 1500 then a rubbing compound to polish it.
Kicking self for selling off my Taskforce trucks. Still looking for an LCF or conventional big bolt in decent shape.

Give me ambiguity or give me something else
