Just a quick question, Ive finished painting my mini... and well run out of paint. The roof has had loads of paint but some bits have dry ruff spots.

 

All the panels are shiny but slightly ruff to the touch if that makes sense. Ive not rubbed them down yet. Im bit worried off rubbing the back incase they don't go shiny again. Im willing to buy a polisher but not sure how to use it.

 

I want to start using my mini, it looks ok, and I would like to paint some panels again at a later date....I just wanted to know how if the panels are slightly ruff but have loads of paint on will sanding the and buffing them back up give a good shine.... or does it have to have a flat shiny surface to start from.

 

Just feeling a bit disappointed at the moment

1200 the everything it will go dull then use g3 on a polishing mop and it will come back like new

I wet and dried on bit and polished it up just with abit of t cut looks good but when you look at an angle I can see the faint wet and dry scratches.... Is the because I need to g3 and mop it

Yes, don't use Tcut.
You need to use a polishing mop with some cutting compound ie G3 then a finishing compound.
