I layed down one of my best paint jobs yet this past weekend on my 70 but,after all the sanding and priming I seen some sander scratches when it dried.I sanded and worked for days just so that would not happen but they are there.They are not too bad but it is enough to draw some critisizm from long time JD collectors.Boy that JD paint will just about stick to anything.I had the front hubs off the spindles and there was a big clump of grease on one of the spindles and the paint flowed right over it without fisheyeing at all.Would the dealer be the best source for getting the rubber grommets for mounting the grille and hood?Jack(TN).

Well, the sander scratches are a problem for everybody I beleive, but it happens to the best of us. If you want to try it again, wet sand the heck out it, start with some 180 grit, and work you way to 400 grit, 1000 and then 1500. If you really want smooth go tp 2000 grit. Keep that paper wet and get you a good pad to put the paper on, do it by hand...lots of elbow grease will be needed. After your hard work and repaint you will be pleased though!! you could do some other things, but this is easiest. Good luck

Avoid using course sandpaper whenever you can. Use highbuild primer (allow proper time to dry)and finish wet sanding with 400 grit sandpaper. Sand until you remove almost all the primer. Repeat if necessary. Topcoat with several wetcoats of J. D. green and hardner.
