The guys I usually go to lunch with were off today, so I burned most of my lunch hour to go swap the toner. I'd rather do this with a tried and true color than gamble on another.
Assuming I get this stripped (citristrip followed up with lacquer thinner), I'm assuming the next step would be to fill the chip with the putty. Let that dry. Then sand.
So for sanding, what are the best grits to start with and work my way up to? And I'm assuming I have to do some odd 45degree sanding on the two lighter striped areas?
And then once the sanding is done, wipe it down with thinner again to get the dust off? Then draw the grain on the putty patch, let it dry, then shoot a coat of sanding sealer? The guy at the Mohawk store recommended something called E-Z Vinyl Sealer when I asked for a sanding sealer.
Kirk - Be careful what you wish for. I find when you wish for things like that, you spend waaaaay too much money there.
