BJ demonstrates how to polish lacquer painted surfaces to achieve a mirror finish.
This technique works best with tough paint such as 2k and regular lacquer paints. Enamel paints can be polished as long as the enamel is fully cured/hardened. Acrylic paints can be polished with extreme care but most are too soft to have good control. For acrylic paints it is best to apply a reasonably thick lacquer clear so that only the lacquer clear is being polished.
The progression of polishing is:
2000 grit sanding
4000 grit sanding
6000 grit sanding
8000 grit sanding
10,000 grit sanding
Coarse polishing compound
Fine polishing compound
Finish polishing compound
