My black Z looked pretty good paint wise except for the rear fascia, lots of orange peel. Looking at it always bothered me.
(You guys with black know what I mean)
Got a wild hair and went to a friends detail shop, and asked him his opinion of wet sanding just the top portion of the rear end (around the lights and middle letter section). At first he said he would be afraid to do it, but I insisted.
Just to do the back portion starting directly above the license plate area. (Took him 2 1/2 hours from start to finish)
He used 2000 grit paper and water, then compound, and finished up with polish.
The hardest part was in and around the "CORVETTE" letters, as he was real careful not to get into the paint.
I am really pleased with the results. Really looks slick. Matches the rest of the car.
I would imagine it would take a couple of days to do the whole car. Don't think I'd go there.
