Paul H Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Hi - When I purchased my Vitesse there was a lot of over spray - just getting round to sorting it - I think I need rubbing compound but looking for recommendations. I have wet and dry - Ive got , 600 , 1200 & 2000 grade wet n dry . As ive never done this before so any advice , resources would be welcome . On the pic the overspray should be visible on the bottom of the doors , lower bodywork - its a lighter blue than the Valencia Blue ( though think the car is not the proper Valencia Blue - code 66 ) - Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 ive used a G3 rubbing compound , its not too aggressive maybe use a mop on drill ?? even a wipe with thinners can remove soft , its much dependant on whats under the over spray another idea take car to a paint factors get it scanned and make up a matched aerosol and re blow over the mismatch club shop can get paint match from scanning but need a small part to send to the paint shop, Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul H Posted September 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Hi Pete , thanks for info. The overspray is very rough and could have been hand painted - its like they ran out of paint and finished by hand . Ive found some T Cut in the garage - Is this ok to use ?

Gadgetman Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 I'd go with 1200 wet and dry ( used wet on a flat block then polish with Farecla G3 as Pete says. If it's heavy using G 3 alone will take an age. If you have a compressor get yourself one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6-DUAL-ACTION-ORBITAL-AIR-SANDER-POLISHER-5PC-FOAM-POLISHING-SPONGE-HEAD-KIT-/271826681665?epid=1182515051&hash=item3f4a21ff41:g:w9EAAOSwX61ZL~HV do put good quality making tape along any edges so you don't burn through them. Take it slow & easy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Lewis Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 if you happen find holes under the O Spray i used a marine epoxy on door skin repairs and its water proof wont bubble up with water or rust and tough as old nick , far better than P38 type fillers , if things need some tidying up.
