  12. sanding and buffing Eastwood paint

    I have just painted a white 1993 DeVille with Eastwood bright white and clear coat. How long should I wait before color sanding and buffing? In the past I have used 600 grit followed by 1000 before buffing. Does this sound right for the Eastwood paint? Thanks and all the best. DB
