Help with blending

[David T]

To take out scratches and straighten the grain you use 80# or 120#. 120 will take longer and leave finer scratches. After using the sandpaper go over it with the blending pad aka Scotch-Brite. The Delorean has what is known as a #2 finish. It is a rougher finish than what is on most kitchen appliances. In the beginning till you get good at it use a line of masking tape to stay straight. Beginners tend to move in an arc making the grain turn at the ends of the stroke. Use 2 hands and maintain even pressure. Cover the side mouldings, mirrors, trim, and the facias with tape to prevent damage. Use as light a pressure as you can on the hood to avoid the dreaded X pattern.

Well now I feel better about all this, too bad I didn't know those damn blending pads aren't for appliances. Now I have to regrain my fridge!
