We Almost Have a Reflection!

We started sanding with 320 grit on the nose this week. Besides loading up the very fine grit with dust more than twice as fast as the 180 grit did, the 320 grit is creating a very smooth surface. By accident, we discovered a mirage effect when we sighted down the sanded surface. It is best captured in the following picture, and was very nice to see!

Speaking of milestones, unless we hit a major snag we are done spraying Slicksand! We now have to sand everything with 320 grit. That'll keep us busy for a couple of weeks. We have a long weekend coming up in mid-October. It'd be great if we could spray paint then, but I'm not sure we'll be ready.

Below left, you'll see freshly sprayed Slicksand. You can see the small pebbling of the surface. On the right, you can see what it looks like sanded to 320 grit. You'll need to supersize these to see the sanding scratches. I noticed that the blog software no longer allows you to just keep clicking to zoom in.
