Re: Ice cream getter

Also posted in the paint and body area.... I started sanding the clear tonight with hopes of everything working out but I am guessing I am not going to get so lucky. Three wet coats of clear over base. I started with 1000 wet on a 6” block followed with 1500, 2000 and finished with 2500. It shines but sure isn’t flat. It looks ok when looking at it straight on but looking at it from any angle not so much. It has that really worked over, heavy material, yah I should have had someone else spray this, look. I tried to capture what I am talking about with pictures but the pictures look better than the reality.

This is slightly exaggerated but you get the point. Imagine a shiny shower door.

Any suggestions on how I may be able to save this? Should I block more with 1000? Should I just block all the way back to color and reshoot the base and clear? Try to save the base and just reshoot the clear? Any ideas? Help please!
