As yall know a lot can be done with a rattle can these days. I certainly wouldn't go painting a whole panel with it or anything, but it can be easily used to help bring certain interior parts back to life. Or exterior. In this case, I was using Duplicolor Automotive Exterior trim paint (that I got from autozone) to paint those little plastic pieces by the back glass on a 98 suburban.
If you are standing behind the burb, the trim would be on the outermost sides of both of the windows on the rear doors. They are plastic, and they were sun damaged. So I sanded them down, using progressively finer grits until they were smooth. Next I followed the directions on the can to the letter, and painted them.
Now here is my question. One of them wound up with a little bit of texture near the bottom of it. How can I fix this without sanding it all the way back down and repainting it? Should I use 1500 grit, and dry sand it, then buff it with a buffer and some polishing compound? Or should I wet sand it, then hand wax it? I'm afraid this is where my limited autobody knowledge ends.
