Shouldn't the people that own the jig know how to do it?

Yes, they do: were going to try a certain way, its only that there aren't many strong points on a Mini to fix it to the jig.

I dont think theres need to take the top coat off completely, I had loads of high spots and low spots in the paint, so I used 320 until I got a fairly smoothe layer of paint. Then used 800 to feather in parts, then primer light sand of 800 again, primer another light sand of 800. Primer then use 1000 and get it real smoothe, use luke warm soapy water here as it helps smooth it! Dry it, top coat it. Then 1200 it even more smoOOothe! Final top coat and buffer.

Tom, frankly sick of sanding
