final paint prep

[wayneman]

I have a really nice looking paint job on my Olds 442 except that I think I let some of the paint on the back rear quarter spray on dry because it does not look glossy. It also has a tiny piece of lint in it in one place (this always happens to me). My question is whether or not to sand it or to see if I can use automotive wax to finish it out. I sprayed it a couple of weeks ago and let it dry for 5 days. I then tried 12000 grit paper and removed some of the paint (to the plastic). So after the purple bath I sprayed two good thin coats, but still need to get that final glossy finish over all of it. I really don't want to screw it up because it is a good job excedpt for the two palces. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Use a 3200 grit cloth to remove the lint, 12000 is too fine and should be used after the previous numbered grits. After that, add a few more coats of paint and re-polish or wet sand again.......
