Question regarding Micromesh and Tamiya Compound


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Currently I am building the Tamiya 1/12 Ducati 1199 Panigale, and I have sprayed the fairings in the required red and a generous coat of Tamiya X-22 clear.

My question is regarding the finishing of the final clear coat. At what grit do I swop over from Micromesh cloths to the Tamiya polishing compound?

I have all the grits from 3600 upwards, and the compounds from coarse to fine to finish.

After 12000 grit of micromesh, I use compounds (not tamiya but similar) for the final shine.

As the final gloss coat, 2k auto gloss clears are the best.

I built the panigale a while ago, really great kit...
