I've completed the first sanding on the nose "experiment".Here's a before pic to refresh the memory:[ATTACH=full]30294[/ATTACH]None of those marks are dirt or bug bits, they're all stone chips. After:[ATTACH=full]30293[/ATTACH]That's coming along pretty good! you can see some of the spots that are still a little "low" and the bigger "blobs" are spots I've already re-touched with paint. I'll let those dry and wet sand a second time. Then it's going to be on to buffing and polishing.The key to "hiding" all those stone chips is to get them all filled with black and the surface as level as possible. That makes the chips blend into the background to the point where you will need to get right up on it to see them.It's not going to turn out like a new paint job, but it's going to look 100x better than it did.
