Body Work Continues on the MKIII Roadster: Polish

I suppose I have gotten more re-orientation to body work and related tasks on this build than with most of the projects I have done in the past. Just having the tools and materials in your hands and beginning the process again is a relearning process thru the neuro-muscular pathways we develop over the years. Sometimes they come back (the skills) and sometimes not so much. So my practice so far is resulting in some progress. I am using this black lacquer "paint job" as a sacrificial coating. I have gotten compliments as it looks a lot better than primer. It raises a lot more attention with a shiny smooth looking surface. Go figure. We humans are superficial.
So I compounded and polished the lacquer just as you would for a finished job and it's OK. Definitely easier to see all the flaws. So that's good and bad. I really like being able to wipe off the body with a towel after rinsing it with water. Here are a few pics. Thanks, WEK
