RE: Repairing Stratches on Fairings
try clay bar or a rubbing compound on dull areas..
for sanding. hit the plastics with a 320 to cut thru the orig paint a bit, then hit it with 600grit(wet sand paper) wipe it down with a degreaser, and hit it with a tac cloth, prime it or paint, which ever way you want to go, once you get the first coat, and its cured a bit, hit it with 600 just to get any bumps out from the paint globbing up. wipe it down again, hit it with 2 coats... wait about 10mins til you do the second coat. once thats cured, sand it down with 1000grit, wipe it down and clear it with 2 coats, once that cures, hit the clear with 2k gritt, then get some rubbing compound and buff it out and you should be good to go... thats how i painted my last truck and jeep, and they looked damn good. i may have forgot a step or 2 but ya.. general idea..
and if your painting on the outside.. spray everything down with water to hold the dust down
