follow up question

thnx David for the encouraging info... i will try to salvage the original, however i would need some more details please:

1) i will wet sand the canopy as you described, but ( i know it might seem like a dum question but i never wet sanded anything in my life) how do you do that? I know the paper, but do you wet the paper or /and the canopy ? have no clue...

2) also the canopy has some distortion when looking through it (like a very minor frost on glass)... will that go away as well when sanding the outside or will i have to sand/spray the inside wall as well?

Since i have never done this before, i would appreciate every bit of info i can get

THNX for helping out, Vasek
