Interested to know how those $4 GP work out. I need to restock I think I have 2 merlins left. I started polishing the wing for the Corsair. Looking pretty good, especially my blend considering it was the first one, and used lacquer thinner instead of the proper reducer to edge it in. It will never look like a car finish since it is on wood, but will look good enough flying. I used 4 grades wet dry to get it smooth, then Meguiars compound and a DA to bring up the gloss. Once I have it all to my liking I can go over it with some of my high end final polish to make it really shine. Looking at it, you would never know it was house paint.
