Geoff, thanks for your explanation. I understand where your at now. I would go with 320 wet sanding with a block on the flat surfaces and leave any areas of a complex nature alone. Yes, a block sanding will show up the small dimples so to speak. Nice to get an even dull look. Do keep in mind that lacquer does shrink with time, a lot of time! A good few days to allow most of the shrinking prior to block sanding is helpful. When you get to that nice even dull look on the flats, a couple more coats with very thinned lacquer going on wet and then see where you are. I have obtained a very flat smooth surface in this manner. Perhaps some fine rubbing compound to knock down over spray but there should not be any pits at that point.
Good luck, you are doing great.
Jerry
