That's a beautiful Roadster there. I own plenty of lacquer based paints, but i own alot of Tamiya acrylics too and wanted to give the X-1 a try. I also forgot to mention i had the hood in the dehydrator(Micro-Mark) for bout 2 hours before i took those pictures. But i guess more time in the heat should help from waiting a week? Also when you say 2000 grit you mean just regular ole wet & dry? like tamiya, infini, etc? Than hit it with micro mesh? 4000 and up? or 4000-8000 than novus polish?

Sorry if this has been posted before, but i couldn't find anything doing a search. I'm still waiting for the tamiya X-1 to cure, but i ended up getting dust and little bit of orange peel. I was wondering if it's possible to color sand tamiya acrylic or do i have to clear coat and than proceed with sanding with micro mesh? I've marked the issues in the pictures. Also used Alclad grey primer as base. Thank you for the help and P.S I'm new to the forums
