You would be sanding with 800-1000 even 2000 grit paper. Wet sanding is actualy preferred. No clarity losses and a very small depth will be added.

(get the impression I'm NOT a painter by any shape of the imagination )


I might have to do the coats on top of the stickers later, once I'm reasonable sure I've got most of them....
You can always add stickers and clear coat again.


I don't think I can make Shack if it's this year.
