[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 551507, member: 9281"] Well, I didn't hear from anyone so I went ahead and polished this thing out tonight. I ended up wet sanding the final coat with 1500 grit. This definately smoothed it out but of course took some shine out of the finish. I went over it with automotive Turtle Wax Polishing Compound and that brought back about 90 percent of the shine (darker) color. I got all carried away and put 2 coats of regular Turtle Wax on it too. She's as smooth as glass now and looks pretty darn good for a first refinish job. I definately learned a few things that I would do differently on the next job. Like spray all coats rather than brush on and sand with much finer sandpaper than 220 between coats as well. [/QUOTE]
