Just wondering what everyone's favorite tips are for filling in the little pits that result from chips and stuff. Just tossing on more paint results in an uneven surface. I hate the idea of having to hit each chip with a bristle disc to get down to bare metal and remove light surface rust and then apply glazing compound, sand, and completely refinish the immediate area.
I'm also wondering what you guys do for getting a high-quality finish overall. My old boss has a system for removing scratches with wet 2000-grit 3M Imperial Wetordry, then wet-sanding again with a 3000-grit Trizact pad on the DA sander, following iwth 3M Imperial Machine Glaze with the power buffer, and finishing up with 3M Imperial Hand Glaze. It's a very good system, but aside from the expense of the compounds, I'm intimidated by the details of setting myself up with the pads and Hookit stuff for the DA. What other alternatives should I be considering?
