Hello, to say I am anxious about taking sandpaper to my newly painted car is an understatement....but I am proceeding slowly after reading/watching others do it. My paint came out quite flat, so I am hand sanding with 1500 grit on a 6” thin durablock. It is taking very little effort to flatten the paint.
My question is.......I have a thicker build up of paint/clear around the door edges and fender edges.....Do I keep flattening the paint so close to the edge, or do I simply leave it, polish it and not risk cutting through to the base coat on the edge. It has taken me the better part of a year to get this far and do NOT want to have to repaint. I have enclosed a pic to make it more clear.
