First time wet sanding this repaint. Suggestions?
Hey everyone!
A few weeks ago I bought a 135i that has had one fender repainted. Before sending it in to get a proper respray I thought I would try my hand at wet sanding the panel.
I have done several details and primarily work with a 7424 and the M105/205 combo (orange/white lake country pads). I assume this would be able to correct after I do the wetsand.
Here is the factory paint. (Yes I know the orange peel is crazy on factory BMWs).
And here is the paint I will be wetsanding. Do you think that a hand 1500/2000/3000 grit will eliminate the poor quality paint job.?

What is your objective wet sanding this panel?
Are you trying to match the OEM Orange Peel?

I am fairly certain that I wont be able to match the factory orange peel since they are just vastly different textures.
I would rather just eliminate the peel from the repainted panels and try to get a sharper reflection on those (which of course involves me leveling the paint)
Thanks for your quick reply!

You certainly will get more shine if you sand the repainted panel.
Here is a write up I did awhile back on wet sanding - SHINE IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT! Shelby Cobra meets the Microfiber DA system!
