what wet sandpaper or scotch pad to dull paint

[66clow]

If I want to take the shine off my paint without leaving scratches, What grit paper or pad should I use? and is there a wax to use to protect the paint without making it shine? I want the old paint look.

You could wet sand it with 1500 I guess. You would still see some minor 1500 scratches. Sand out with 1500 then use a da with 2000 grit wet would totally flatten it out.

Well here are some pics of my old trucks with original patina. I first wet sand lighly with 800 grit, then go over the whole truck with a red 3m pad. Then you can accent certain areas by sanding down to the primer or metal if desired. Thanks

trucks look great, thanks. the fleet looks like it is set up like mine. although my tires are not quite that big.I wet sanded and buffed my paint out but i think i like the flat look better.

Have you thought about steel wool? It should give a dull but smoother finish.
