if you are doing 5 coats you dont have to hit it with 800, then 1000, then 1500 after every coat ............. just sand it with 1000 for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd coat because your just sanding it so the next coat can have some thing to stick to and with the 2nd last coat do the 800 to 1000 to 1500 so it will come out smooth

Did we register on honda-tech to bash on someones grammar? Most of you who are talking trash probably will never have the balls/motivation to get off your ass and try this. Damn. Seems like anybody nowadays with a computer talks like they have balls or something. Grow up.As for the paint. Yes there is orange peel but like you said just sand it till none is visible and start rolling with thinner layers. The after picture of wetsand/buff looks 10x better. That's what experience is for! You gotta start somewhere. I will probably test out roll-on with my project hatch to see how that goes. =p keep up the good work. oh yeah next time resize the pictures if you can lol
