The next step has been done and the rims are now painted with a dark gray filler. Next up is the work I hate the most during a restoration process. …. sanding by hand !!!! ….. When you look at the pictures you think the surface is smooth and ready for painting. But a foam rubber pad with 600 grit that you push over the surface with light pressure shows how "rough" this surface still is. I dry sand the surfaces that have been painted with the “Filler before Top Paint” with 800 grit. To ensure that these concave and convex shaped surfaces have an optimal result ... they can only be sanded by hand. So that this doesn't take too much time, I start with 600 grit to remove the largest unevenness. These can be clearly seen if you occasionally remove dust from the surfaces using silicone remover. The sanding should be done yourself, especially with 600 grit, using only light pressure. The relatively thinly applied filler is quickly sanded through and the 600 grit can be seen in the top coat.
