@Strap Hanger posted:Bill, any chance you can walk us through your wet sanding process? - 1000 grit sandpaper? Soapy water, rubbing compound, or just plain water? Gloss spray afterwards before decal placement? Etc. Your results came out fantastic and I want to replicate it for removing the decals under the cab window so I can place on an MTA “M”. Thanks in advance!
Sure, no problem!
I used water and very fine sand paper, about 3000, 2500, and 2000 grit along with regular water and occasionally brushed some microsol onto the area while sanding. This worked well for the cab lettering but not really for the hood letters, which I had to use a heaver sandpaper for and couldn't save the blue paint underneath
After putting the decals on, I weathered the whole thing with different acrylic browns, then clear coated it with tamiya flat clear spray, then added an acrylic wash to certain areas to get dirt into the crevices.
