Yeah...I did that for the original two dash pieces. It took forever, but I got it done. Since it was such a pain, I'm shooting for a new method...to strip the paint w/out having to sand, sand, sand.
I do have 1000, 1500, and 2000 grit 3M sand paper ready to go should I need. But, I'd MUCH rather not!
How would you buff it back to clear?...maybe some of that headlight refinish stuff?...Meguires scratch X compound type stuff? I wonder if that headlight stuff used to take off the yellowing coating would work...
What can I say....I'm always looking for new, innovative, and "easier" ways of doing this stuff...lol
