    Hey guys,

    Getting into a full, multi stage paint correction on my early 95 Berlinetta.

    I started off filling in chips with the proper Glasurit single stage urethane that was color matched.

    The head light tops are the worst placed for tiny chips (front bumper was stripped and resprayed)

    The head light cases also don't have a lot of material (3.5 mils) so not enough material to make perfect but better than seeing white little dots..

    Here is the start of the wet sanding with 2000 grit paper

    Nice work! A difficult car to do this to (IMO) with all the hard edges and needing to constantly tape, switch sides, tape again and many areas that just have to be done by hand.

    All worth it in the end :)

    You bet, Jim! And, I think I will polish the gas door by hand ;)

    Seriously, I measured all 3 cars and the gas doors have the least amount of material....

    Guy, in case anyone wants the information, the products I'm using can be found here: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/142340693-post13.html

    I'm also wet sanding filled chips and deep scratches with 2000 and 2500 grit with a foam wet sanding block. I'm not using 22PLE on this car, I have a new product to try and will post later in the process.
