am I right in thinking sand with 1200 wet/dry paper (wet) then polish...??

not that id do that on my car btw J222JRA, just so you don't think iv done it on mine... would only let bodyshop do any work with my paint like that.

1200 wet to take the shine of the surface around the scratch/chip then get some putty called stopper from your local paint shop or halfords etc (only cheap) give a fine layer over you chip or scratch wait for it to dry about half and hour then flat it with 1200 again but take you time till it is 100% then primer it and wait for it to dry about 2-4hours depending on harder and weather its heat treated then wet flat again with 1500 then paint with base coat (colour) then wait for it to go takey about 10-15mins then paint laquer then wait till its dry and cured properly about a 1 week then wet flat with 1500 and polish it with farecla g10 compound apply the compound to the surface and then spray with water out of a spray bottle (only slight mist) then do light circle motions if you havent got a mop

hope this helps mate

to do all this including the price of everything wouldnt be alot
around £40ish depending on supplier

i painted mine by can in my shed using a heat lamp and an extractor fan once painted i left it for 2 weeks then detailed it using 1500 wet and dry and then moped it with some g2 compound looks good never will be as good as the paint shop but close enouth and only cost me 30 quid when shop wanted 180 already had fan and heater thoe but 150 saved :y:
